- Description:
- The Free Software Foundation's "diff" utilities, including "diff",
"diff3", "sdiff", and "cmp".
These utilities exist in the FreeBSD base collection, but the GNU
versions have added functionality that is sometimes useful.
Note that this port will install these utilities with a 'g' prefix,
for example gdiff, gdiff3, gcmp, but the texinfo documentation
will refer to these utilities without the 'g' prefix.

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.

Install texinfo files (GNU info) into ${PREFIX}/share/info
After a discussion on the mailing list on moving manpages to
${PREFIX}/share/man for consistency with base where it is
installed in usr/share/man, it appeared the same should happen
to GNU info files which were installed under share in base and
not in ports.
Now texinfo is not in base on any of the supported version of FreeBSD
it is possible to proceed to this move and it is easier to do than
the manpage change.
Other benefit than consistency are less patching: all build tools but
cmake are expecting info files to be under share/info and cmake (patched here)
was having an exception for BSD so the patch makes FreeBSD case less
specific for them

Fix a long standing bug of lib/charset.alias being overwritten, modified, and
badly tracked by ports.
Make lib/charset.alias a file only provided by converters/libiconv
Create a new USES: charsetfix, that will modify in post patch the Makefile.in to
prevent a port from modifying/overwritting the charset.alias file during make
install.
Prevent devel/gettext from installing that files.
Fix a couple of ports that actually touch charset.alias during the build phase.
