HIDAPI is a platform independent library that allows applications to
work with USB HID-Class devices. While it can be used to communicate
with standard HID devices like keyboards, mice, and joysticks, it is
most useful when used with custom (Vendor-Defined) HID devices.
===> The following configuration options are available for hidapi-0.15.0:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

comms/hidapi: Switch from cmake back to autoreconf build
Switch from cmake back to to autoreconf build as this broke
comms/py-hidapi. Once this has been investigated and fixed we
can switch back to cmake.

The libusb project has adopted hidapi. Update to their latest release,
0.10.1. Bump py-hidapi so it gets rebuilt to use new functions.
Hand over to maintainer of py-hidapi so the two can be maintained together.

Remove iconv(), iconv_open() and iconv_close() symbols from libiconv.
These were FreeBSD specific aliases for libiconv(), libiconv_open() and
libiconv_close() that are now also provided by libc which complicates
writing configure tests that work correctly when both libc iconv and
libiconv are available.
Also, because the libiconv iconv.h header redefines iconv* to libiconv*
correct use of the header implies that the aliases aren't used.
The following ports needed fixes because there was something wrong with
the way they tried to detect or use iconv:
audio/deadbeef: Remove LIBICONV_PLUG from a source file. It's a
compile-time option and should not be set in source code.

When linking a library libA with a library libB using libtool, if libB.la
exists, libtool will add all libraries libB.la refers to (dependency_libs
field) to the linker command line and store them in the dependency_libs
field of libA.la. So everything that subsequently links with libA will also
link to these extra libraries. This causes too much overlinking.
This commit modifies Mk/Uses/libtool.mk so it empties the dependency_libs
field in .la libraries during staging. However, because .la libraries have
very limited use when dependency_libs is empty it makes sense to completely
remove them during staging.
So with this commit USES=libtool is modified to remove .la libraries and a
new form (USES=libtool:keepla) is introduced in case they need to be kept
(dependency_libs is still emptied).

- Remove part of a patch that wasn't entirely correct and let the port
use the WCHAR_T iconv extension instead.
- Add USES=libtool and let libtoolize copy the necessary files instead of
symlinking them such that they can be patched.
- Add a configure check for libusb_handle_events_completed.
New port comms/hidapi.
