SR (Synchronizing Resources) is a language for writing concurrent programs,
developed in the University of Arizona. The main language constructs are
resources and operations. Resources encapsulate processes and variables
they share; operations provide the primary mechanism for process interaction.
SR provides a novel integration of the mechanisms for invoking and servicing
operations. Consequently, all local and remote procedure call, rendezvous,
message passing, dynamic process creation, multicast, and semaphores are
supported. SR also supports shared global variables and operations. Has a
nice interface (X11 and xtango).
SR is the predecessor to the MPD programming language, which provides the
same capabilities using different syntax.

===> The following configuration options are available for sr-2.3.1_2:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
EXAMPLES=on: Build and/or install examples
X11=on: X11 (graphics) support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
- Hopefully fix parallel (-jX) builds; unfortunately, had to use GNU make(1)
because of order-only prerequisites
- Drop indefinite article from the COMMENT line
- Respect CC and CFLAGS (passed via MAKE_ARGS)
- Convert to OptionsNG; minor miscellaneous fixes
- Update port description text while I am here
Standardize WWW: tags a bit more:
1. Remove white space from the beginning of lines
2. Make the canonical WWW the last line of the file
3. Remove lines to the effect of, "More information can be found at..."
that's the stated purpose of the WWW: tags in the first place.
4. Change secondary WWW: lines to use other text to avoid confusion
While I'm here, remove some more useless Author: lines, and some
prepended white space to other lines.

Convert most of remaining ports that depend on xorg-libraries to
modular xorg.
- supply corresponding USE_XORG for all imake-using ports that need it
- USE_IMAKE no longer implies USE_XLIB in absence of USE_XORG
- retire USE_X_PREFIX which is not really used anywhere after the
above change
- a few minor nits like whitespace and SF macro

Mark as broken. The last release of this package seems to have
been around 2000. It may have been supplanted by a similar
project named mpd (http://www.cs.arizona.edu/mpd).
