for extended attributes is included.

a lot of imporvements and bugfixes since 3.0.2a.
In addition following problems solved:
o linking agaist libiconv is mandatary now
o more ways of detecting Kerberos5 installation and
LIB_DEPENDS on Heimdal port if none is found -
should address problems with bentoo building as well
o fixed problem when port wasn't compilable when LDAP
wasn't chosen and ADS was.

knob for Kerberos is misleading, as it is necessary only for ADS support;
the installation scripts renamed installed binaries to *.old. Also,
delete the USE_OPENLDAP_VER?= line, it is not only not needed once you
set USE_OPENLDAP=yes, it can positively interfere with LDAP version bumps
