- Fix python shebang

PR:		191106
Submitted by:	fred@fredcondo.net
Approved by:	maintainer timeout (wxs, 2 years)

Cleanup DIST* variables.

When appropriate:
- Try to use DISTVERSION{SUF,PRE}FIX
- Replace PORTNAME-PORTVERSION by DISTNAME
- Convert MASTER_SITES to use macros
- Other light cleanup

With hat:	portmgr
Sponsored by:	Absolight

- Convert ports from german/, java/, japanese/ and ports-mgmt/ to new
  USES=python

Approved by:	portmgr (implicit)

- Support staging
- Use shebangfix

Add NO_STAGE all over the place in preparation for the staging support (cat:
ports-mgmt)

Remove the header for ports I created.

For dns/openresolv give proper attribution. This was a copy/paste
mistake the submitter made, which incorrectly gave me attribution
for that file. I did not create it.

Update to 20110317. This rolls up the patch committed previously
and addresses a (now-fixed) problem when bsd.sites.mk was using Ftp://
instead of ftp://. [1]

Submitted by:   [1]: Gerard Seibert (private mail)

Add a patch to fix an issue under python 2.7.
While here, drop MD5 from distinfo.

Update to 20081104.  It incorporates the local patch put in place a while
ago.

Add a patch to workaround a bug noticed by Doug Barton.
The new code will silently ignore MASTER_SITE_GOOGLE_CODE and
MASTER_SITE_DEBIAN_POOL unless specifically asked to sort them, in which
case an error message is printed.

Most of the patch came from Ryan Steinmetz <rpsfa@rit.edu> with small
additions by me.

Sort every mirror list in bsd.sites.mk.

Output is suitable for inclusion into make.conf.
