1. preserve the latest skype version that has OSS support as net-im/skype20
(but schedule it for removal soon)

2. update net-im/skype to 2.1.0.81.
- It supports sound and video, please read the pkg-message to find out how to
make it work.
- OPTIONify

Both ports are based on repocopy from net/skype.

Many thanks to: avg@, nox@, kwm@, miwi@, netchild@ and many others

  and no longer available.
- Also Note: This version is known to work with amd64, but requires
  linux_dri which is currently marked ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386

Skype is a free program that uses the latest P2P technology to bring
affordable and high-quality voice communications to people all over
the world.

This port needs linux_base-8, the default linux_base is v7.1. You should
first replace the default linux_base with v8 with portupgrade:
        portupgrade -o emulators/linux_base-8 emulators/linux_base

Then edit /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf, add the line
        emulators/linux_base' => 'emulators/linux_base-8',
into "ALT_PKGDEP". This tells portupgrade to depend upon linux_base-8
instead upon linux_base-7.1 (where appropriate).

This replacement shouldn't do any harm, I tested icc and the linux version
of netscape navigator 4.8 with the new linux_base, and I haven't noticed
bad behavior.
