- Description:
- Fifechan is a lightweight cross platform GUI library written in C++
specifically designed for games. It has a small yet powerful built-in
set of extendable GUI Widgets allowing users to create virtually
unlimited types of widgets.
Fifechan supports rendering in SDL, OpenGL, or Allegro out of the box
or it can be adapted to use any rendering engine the user requires.
Events are pushed to Fifechan which allows users to use any input
library they wish or they could use the built in input handling
through either SDL input or Allegro input.
The primary goal for Fifechan is to keep it extendable, lightweight
and still be powerful enough to use in all types of games out of the
box.

FIFE engine ports: undeprecate the ports and assume maintainership
Despite stagnated development in recent years, and while consumers,
most notably Unknown Horizons are slowly migrating to Godot Engine,
the project could be useful on its own as a standalone GUI library.

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.

Change cmake default behaviour to outsource.
Ports that build out of source now simply can use "USES=cmake"
instead of "USES=cmake:outsource". Ports that fail to build
out of source now need to specify "USES=cmake:insource".
I tried to only set insource where explictely needed.
