ParallelUserAgent (or PUA for short) is an extension of the existing libwww-5.x
distribution. It allows you to connect to download several Web pages in
_parallel_, without having to request each page one after the other.
Instead of retrieving each single page using LWP::UserAgent::request or
::simple_request methods, you first "register" all pages that you wish to
download in parallel and then call PUA's "wait" method, which will then make all
the necessary connections and download the pages.
You can define callback routines which will be called whenever a connection is
established, is cut off, new data comes in or a request finishes. The
subroutines can be global for all requests you registered, or different for
every single request.
Callbacks for example allow you to print status updates as the responses come
in, or even immediately post follow-up requests based on the responses, all
within the same single "wait" cycle.
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.

Fix every instance of RUN_DEPENDS:=${BUILD_DEPENDS} in p5 ports, except
for where it resulted in a change in output from build-depends-list or
run-depends-list.
