exists, libtool will add all libraries libB.la refers to (dependency_libs
field) to the linker command line and store them in the dependency_libs
field of libA.la. So everything that subsequently links with libA will also
link to these extra libraries. This causes too much overlinking.
This commit modifies Mk/Uses/libtool.mk so it empties the dependency_libs
field in .la libraries during staging. However, because .la libraries have
very limited use when dependency_libs is empty it makes sense to completely
remove them during staging.
So with this commit USES=libtool is modified to remove .la libraries and a
new form (USES=libtool:keepla) is introduced in case they need to be kept
(dependency_libs is still emptied).
PORTREVISION is bumped on all ports with USES=libtool that install .la
libraries. Most ports are also changed to add :keepla because .la
libraries have to be kept around as long as there are dependent ports with
.la libraries that refer to them in their dependency_libs field. In most
cases :keepla can be removed again as soon as all dependent ports that
install .la libraries have some form of USES=libtool added to their
Makefile.

- Assign MAN1 variable dynamically, based on selection of utilities
- Register `test' target quite natural dependency on `build' one, and hook
it to `regression-test' so tests will be run when building on tinderbox
- Rephrase COMMENT line, define LICENSE (MIT)
- Prefer lowercase (foo) to uppercase (FOO) variables in ``.for .. .endfor''
loops, as it indicates better that variable supposed to be "local"
- Cleanup Makefile (drop no-op REINPLACE_CMD's, CFLAGS augmentation, etc.)
- Use more standard MANPREFIX instead of MAN1PREFIX which also does not seem
to be documented anywhere
- Stop telling lies about LGPL; while Little CMS did use LGPL until revision
1.12, it switched to the MIT license after that as it is more suitable for
commercial applications
- Remove Author tag since WWW page is comprehensive enough
my ports in the past 3 weeks while ports were broken on any 10.x
machines, which means I'm unable to maintain them. So let people know
that there's no available support for them until things are back to
normal (which also means that anyone with spare time will be able
to fix them without getting approval).
