Extended attributes are arbitrarily named pieces of data associated with
a file and managed by the file system.
The names and the values for the attributes are freely chosen by
applications and/or users, with very few restrictions. Many recent
systems and filesystems support extended attributes, but the interfaces
used to manage them are far from identical.
Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X all provide similar extended attributes
functionality.
The pxattr package aims at providing a single interface to extended
attributes on all three systems. It consists in a single C++ module
(one source and one include file), which is to be included in the
application source code, or can be built as a reference command-line
utility to manage user extended attributes in a uniform and cross-
platform way. It includes an attributes archive/restore facility.

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.
