- Set --mandir and --infodir in CONFIGURE_ARGS if the configure script
  supports them.  This is determined by running ``configure --help'' in
  do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
  which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable
  Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.
- Correct some manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
- Define INFO_PATH where necessary
- Document that .info files are installed in a subdirectory relative to
  PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and
  subdirectory detection.

Update to 0.99.4.  This release fixes a few security bugs as well as other
functional problems, adds some new features and protocol support, and
updates many other protocols.  Also:

* Force snmp.name searches to be spring searches instead of OIDs.  This
  reverts to ethereal behavior, and works a lot better
* Convert to OPTIONS
* Add optional RTP stream playback support
* Use OPENSSLBASE instead of /usr to pick up ports OpenSSL [1]

For a summary of all features and fixes see
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/relnotes/wireshark-0.99.4.html .

Add wireshark and tshark after repocopies from ethereal and tethereal
respectively.  Wireshark is a rename of ethereal after the principal
developer moved companies and lost the Ethereal copyright.

Messenger, don't shoot!

Now the ethereal binary is called wireshark, the tethereal binary is
called tshark, and idl2eth is now idl2wrs.  All other binaries have
kept the same name.

In addition to this name change, I have also changed the PREFIX from X11BASE
to LOCALBASE.
