License: not specified in port

Description:

bksh is a simple (some would say trivial) program designed to be used as a shell by ssh or rsh-like programs. All it does it to copy its input to a restricted set of backup files. It was made to allow administrators to create backup servers in potentially hostile environments without allowing full shell access to the server or the client. Features: - tape only or file & tape backups (compile-time config) - automatic file rotation allows keeping a history of backups - configurable number of files kept (static compile-time or dynamic) - allows naming of backup files on command line - works as a restricted shell to limit access to server - very simple and short ANSI C code, easy to audit WWW: http://anarcat.ath.cx/software/bksh

Fix build with src r354909 applied.

The referenced change made NO_INSTALLLIB, NO_MAN, and NO_PROFILE into
errors causing these ports that declare them and use the FreeBSD make
infrastructure as part of their build to fail.

When the offending variables occur in a BSD Makefile, NO_MAN becomes
MAN= and NO_INSTALLLIB and NO_PROFILE become MK_INSTALLLIB=no and
MK_PROFILE=no respectively.  When declared in the environment they
become WITHOUT_<FOO>.

Allow staging as a regular user

- Remove NO_STAGE as these have been tested to be safe

With hat:	portmgr

Add NO_STAGE all over the place in preparation for the staging support (cat:
sysutils)

Fix build with bmake

- Get Rid MD5 support

- Remove the DESTDIR modifications from individual ports as we have a new,
  fully chrooted DESTDIR, which does not need such any more.
