Many people have this experience: You sit before a gambling table. You keep
placing the bet. You know the Goddess will finally smile at you. You just
don't know when. You have only to wait. As the time goes by, the bets in
your hand become fewer and fewer. You feel the time goes slower and slower.
This lengthy waiting process become painfully long, like a train running
straightforwardly into hell. You start feeling your whole life is a failure,
as the jackpot never comes...
But, hey, why so painfully waiting? The Goddess will finally smile at you,
right? So, why not put this painly waiting process to a computer program?
Yes. This is the whole idea, the greatest invention in the century:: An
automatic gambler! There is no secret. It is simple brute force. It
never-endingly runs toward the final jackpot. You can go for other business:
sleep, eat, work. When you finally came back you wins. With it, the hell of
gambling is history!
Remember, that the computer is never affected by emotion, luck, everything.
It never feel anxious or depress. It simply, faithfully, determinedly runs
the probability until the jackpot. As you know, the anxiety and depression
is the enemy of the games, while a simple, faithful and determined mind is
the only path to the jackpot. This makes computer a perfect candidate as a
gambler than an ordinary human.
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.

MASTER_SITES cleanup.
- Replace ${MASTER_SITE_FOO} with FOO.
- Merge MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR into MASTER_SITES when possible. (This means 99.9%
of the time.)
- Remove occurrences of MASTER_SITE_LOCAL when no subdirectory was present and
no hint of what it should be was present.
- Fix some logic.
- And generally, make things more simple and easy to understand.
While there, add magic values to the FESTIVAL, GENTOO, GIMP, GNUPG, QT and
SAMBA macros.
Also, replace some EXTRACT_SUFX occurences with USES=tar:*.

Change the way Perl modules are installed, update the default Perl to 5.18.
Before, we had:
site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18
site_perl/perl_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18/mach
perl_man3 : lib/perl5/5.18/man/man3
Now we have:
site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl
site_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18
perl_man3 : lib/perl5/site_perl/man/man3
Modules without any .so will be installed at the same place regardless of the
