Description:
dmenu is a minimalistic X11 menu. It reads a newline separated list of items from stdin and shows them as a menu on the top of the screen. When the user selects one item or types any text and presses Enter, their choice is printed to stdout. dmenu was developed as an addition to the dynamic window manager (dwm), but can be used in any X11-environment.

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.

x11/dmenu: Get the latest bug fixes from upstream

Users are still reporting issues with the dmenu version 4.9. The patch we
have currently in the ports tree was meant to be a temporary fix as we
waited for a new dmenu release. A new release is not coming apparently,
so let's just get the latest patches from upstream.

Also, switch to a GitHub-hosted mirror of the dmenu repository
as it is painful to get artifacts from https://git.suckless.org/
without a Git client.

While here, replace REINPLACE_CMD with patches.

dmenu is a minimalistic X11 menu. It reads a newline separated list of items
from stdin and shows them as a menu on the top of the screen. When the user
selects one item or types any text and presses Enter, his choice is printed to
stdout.

dmenu was developed as an addition to the dwm window manager, but can be used
in any X11-environment.
