The stalepid utility was developed to facilitate the startup of servers
that write their process ID to a file and refuse to start if that file
exists (e.g. when the process was last terminated by an unclean shutdown,
or simply killed without given the chance to clean up the process ID
file).  The stalepid utility is used to check for and possibly remove
those stale process ID files.  Upon its invocation, stalepid checks for
the following conditions:
-   the file specified by the pidfile argument exists;
-   it contains a single line, and the line contains a single number;
-   there is no process with the process ID specified in the file, or if
    there is one, it is not named processname.

If all those conditions are met, the stalepid utility will remove the
file specified by the pidfile argument, thus allowing the next invocation
of the server to proceed normally.

Take maintainership

Approved by:    maintainer (implicit)

The vast majority of pkg-descr files had the following format when they
had both lines:

Author: ...
WWW: ....

So standardize on that, and move them to the end of the file when necessary.

Also fix some more whitespace, and remove more "signature tags" of varying
forms, like -- name, etc.

s/AUTHOR/Author/

A few other various formatting issues

Remove more tags from pkg-descr files fo the form:

- Name
em@i.l

or variations thereof. While I'm here also fix some whitespace and other
formatting errors, including moving WWW: to the last line in the file.

- Get Rid MD5 support

Welcome bsd.perl.mk.  Add support for constructs such as USE_PERL5=5.8.0+.
Drop support for antique perl.
