Unicode define some character width as ambiguous. Software determines
the width of characters accroding the context. However, sometimes it is
hard or impossible to know the context. Thus, this port dirty fixes some
console software, let them recognize all characters in Big5 encoding
range as double width. Now you will be happy with UTF8 terminal and
Big5 fonts :)

This port fixes the zh_TW.UTF-8 locale for wcwidth(3) and wcswidth(3).

- Remove the DESTDIR modifications from individual ports as we have a new,
  fully chrooted DESTDIR, which does not need such any more.

- Spelling

- Now I understand what really happened. share/locale/zh_TW.UTF-8/LC_CTYPE
  is a symlink to ../UTF-8/LC_CTYPE. So, changing the linking target is
  enough.

This should really fix pointyhat build.

- Link is evil. Instead, we directly overwrite the locale file and
  put it back when deinstall.

This should fix the build according to my tinderbox.

- Try to fix build by not modifying base locale file.

Add big5width 1.0: Unicode width dirty fix for Big5 font (zh_TW.UTF-8 locale).
