The read-only LINUXBASE case (after installing the ports, of course) has
to besolved differently, since the ldconfig call has to be chrooted, else
the linux ldconfig will cache some FreeBSD native libs which results in
not being able to start some programs:
 - remove the symlink (linux_base)
 - revert to chroot the ldconfig call (with internal functionality this
   time)

12:50 netchild 

Check if /usr/X11R6/lib is in the ld.so.conf. If it isn't (that's
only the case in non-default linux_base ports): moan.

Minimal changes to let users update the linux base and the linux X11 bits
in any order:
 - add the X11 lib path to ld.so.conf in the linux base port
 - (re)generate the ld.so.cache file in the linux base port too
 - don't change the ld.so.conf in the linux X11 port

At deinstall time the linux base port may still complain about a changed
ld.so.cache file. A clean way to solve this would be to use ("@unexec" and
"@exec") in the plist. Since the plist is autogenerated this would need
some little magic in the plist generation or we have to switch to a static
plist. Delay the decission about how to handle this until we know when/how
to update to a more recent linux base port.

Say hello to the linux mega patch, it consolidates our linux bits a
little bit and allows to proceed to a more recent linux_base from
a stable (read as: the major bugs should be ironed out or identified
and most linux ports build just fine) source.

It also allows to ship 4.11 with a working linuxolator (the EOLed
linux_base is marked forbidden because of a security hole).

This is a major update, please read UPDATING (and CHANGES if you
develop linux ports).

Changes:
 - change the default linux_base from v7 to v8
 - add a newer freetype to linux_base-8 for nicer fonts display [1]
 - don't let cpio use hardlinks in the linux_base-8 port to quiet some
