Mgetty is a "smart" getty replacement, designed to be used with Hayes
compatible data and data/fax modems.

Mgetty knows about modem initialization, manual modem answering (so your
modem doesn't answer if the machine isn't ready), UUCP locking (so you can
use the same device for dial-in and dial-out).

Mgetty provides very extensive logging facilities.

Sendfax sends the named g3 fax files to the fax machine at "phone number". 
The g3 files can be created with pbmtog3(1) or GNU's GhostScript with the
"digifax" driver.

Unbreak on 9.x with utmpx.

mgetty already has utmpx support for SVR4; we can borrow it with a
few changes to make utmpx work.

Feature safe:   yes

Remove CONFLICTS with graphics/netpbm: do not install link from
g32pbm to g3topbm, which already exists in netpbm.

The g3topbm alias is intended for 3rd party fax viewers, however
no ports depend on comms/mgetty+sendfax. g3topbm is also not
referenced anywhere in lib/mgetty+sendfax.

- Get Rid MD5 support

Remove pkg-install, which is now replaced by mgettycfg with the same code.

In mgettycfg:

  - Suggest cuau1 (uart driver) as the default device, rather than cuad1 (sio)
  - Use Perl from LOCALBASE
  - Fix a few spelling/whitespace nits

Document repocopy of pkg-install 1.12 to files/mgettycfg.in.
