Super is a setuid-root program that offers:
o restricted setuid-root access to executables, adjustable
on a per-program and per-user basis;
o a relatively secure environment for scripts, so that well-written
scripts can be run as root (or some other uid/gid), without
unduly compromising security.
The design philosophy behind super is two-fold:
(a) some users can be trusted when executing certain commands;
(b) there are some commands, such as a script to mount CDROM's,
which you'd like to be safely executable even by users who
are NOT trusted. Although setuid-root scripts are insecure,
a good setuid-root wrapper around a sensible non-setuid script
can be hard to break, and super provides that wrapper so that
even a non-trusted user can use the scripts.

DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
EXAMPLES=on: Build and/or install examples
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
*: Fix WWW with broken anchors-as-comments
Case 1: WWW=https://example.com#foo
Here #foo is not part of the value of WWW since # introduces a comment
whether it's part of a word or not (quoting the word+# makes no
difference either). # needs to be escaped:
WWW=https://example.com\#foo
Case 2: WWW=https://example.com #foo
This is probably fallout from when WWW was moved from pkg-descr to
Makefile.
The anchors still exist on the actual websites too or I removed them.
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.

Remove local declarations of setgrent().
In the nearby future, I'm going to change the prototype of the
setgrent() function. Prevent this port from breaking by removing the
redundant local declarations of the setgrent() function it has.

- Display a stage-qa warning when ports use PREFIX/var instead of /var
- Add --localstatedir=/var to _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS (like --mandir) but not
when CONFIGURE_ARGS already sets it. (GNU configure scripts set it to
PREFIX/var when PREFIX != /usr.)
- Add --localstatedir="${PREFIX}/var" to CONFIGURE_ARGS in some ports so
they aren't affected by this change (for now at least). This commit is
meant to ensure that new ports don't make the same mistake.
- games/acm: the configure script in this port is very old; instead of
patching it more, just replace GNU_CONFIGURE with HAS_CONFIGURE.
- irc/charybdis: it already used /var but adding --localstatedir=/var
changed the behaviour of the configure script; adjust the port to this.

According to the Porter's Handbook (5.12.2.3.) default options must be added to
OPTIONS_DEFINE. This policy has been implemented only recently that's why we
have many ports violating this policy.
This patch adds the default options specified in the Porter's Handbook to
OPTIONS_DEFINE where they are being used. Ports maintained by
gnome@FreeBSD.org, kde@FreeBSD.org and x11@FreeBSD.org have been excluded.

For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.
- Update to 3.26.0 to fix fetching [1]
- Reset maintainer
- Remove now useless check for FreeBSD 3.x
- Make sure the example configuration file only
gets deinstalled if not changed.

Fix a problem of poor testing where due to an overload of #ifdef's, the
default "return 0;" of an int returning function was never executed;
causing what ever was in the return register to be "it".
