(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )

Revert the default version of Python to 2.4 for the ports freeze
period.  Python 2.5 brought a vast range of incompatibility to a
large number of ports, so the python@ team will do more basic
compatibility work in a private repository and merge it later.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Approved by:    portmgr (kris)

- Restrict a dependency to the real interpreter to _RUN only.  This
  allows portupgrade to upgrade lang/python from 2.4 flawlessly.
- So remove obsolete instruction.

Fix version number to 2.5 even if 2.4 is in the system.

- Update the main python version to 2.5.
  - Now, lang/python is just a meta-port which depends on lang/python25.
  - And all versions of Python ports have short version identifier in its
    package name; python25-2.5, python24-2.4.3 and etc.
  - Also you must upgrade all python modules after lang/python updated,
     cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages

- Give maintainership of Python ports to the new python@ group which
  includes me, alexbl@ and others.

Fix buffer overrun when performing repr() on a unicode string in a build
with wide unicode (UCS-4) support.

- Set mutually exclusive confliction for {,stackless_}python.

- Add a workaround for the net/straw port installation problem
recently introduced by libpthread. The problem was that waitpid(2)
raised EINTR but python's distutils didn't catch it correctly.
- PORTREVISION is bumped to 2, subsequently.

On ia64, libpython2.3 must be built with -fPIC as well. This unbreaks
KDE (for example).

  amount of threads on -CURRENT libpthread by default. [1]
