FC++ is a library for functional programming in C++. Functional programming
is a programming paradigm in which functions are treated as regular values.
Thus, we can have functions that take other functions as parameters. The
former functions are called "higher-order" functions. A common feature of
functions is that they can be polymorphic. "Polymorphic" means that the same
function can be used with arguments of many types. FC++ is distinguished from
other libraries (including the C++ Standard Library) by its complete support
for polymorphism: FC++ polymorphic higher-order functions can take other
polymorphic functions as arguments and return polymorphic functions as results.
This is particularly useful (i.e., simplifies code) in C++ where type inference
is limited and we often need to pass polymorphic functions around and determine
their type later.
With FC++ you can define your own higher-order polymorphic functions, but the
library also contains a large amount of functionality that can be re-used as-is
in C++ programs. This includes infinite ("lazy") lists, useful higher-order
functions (like map, compose, etc.), a reference-counting facility that can be
used to replace C++ pointers, many common logical and arithmetic operators in
a form that can be used with higher-order functions, and more.

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.

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.

Convert all :U to :tu and :L to :tl
Since FreeBSD 8.4 and FreeBSD 9.1 make(1) do support :tu and :tl as a
replacement for :U and :L (which has been marked as deprecated)
bmake which is the default on FreeBSD 10+ only support by default
:tu/:tl a hack has been added at the time to support :U and :L to ease
migration. This hack is now not necessary anymore
Note that this makes the ports tree incompatible with make(1) from
FreeBSD 8.3 or earlier
