Add largely untested support for changing the slimserver user, group,
and database/cache directory with the SLIMUSER, SLIMGROUP, and SLIMDBDIR
make variables. Make sure the user/group exists before install if you
use a non-standard one.
The biggest change is that the database is now MySQL instead of SQLite.
Slimserver starts it's own MySQL instance so you don't need to deal with
MySQL configuration, but both the client and server are now
dependencies. For more info see the change log at:
http://www.slimdevices.com/Changelog6.html
Most of the binary perl modules are now port dependencies. YAML-Syck is
not yet because it didn't work. I suspect a version issues (the ports
version is newer).
The most important fix is probably avoiding database corruption that
caused the wrong artists to be associated with songs/albums. For full
details, see the Changelog.html or:

Stop trying to use ports versions of all the CPAN bits and do things the way
the vendor expects. It's less elegant, but much easier to maintain. Do build
our own versions of binary modules so we have a chance on all platforms, but
use a slightly modified version of their script to do so (mostly make it
non interactive and fetch the files from DISTDIR/DIST_SUBDIR rather
than direct from slimdevices each build).
Mark RESTRICTED. The distfiles and the build contain non-restributable bits.
Some of the people building packages for linux are working on a way around
this (not distributing the firmware and using alternate images), but that's
no here yet.
Nagged by: many :-)

- Use a new system to track which files in the CPAN directory should be
installed. As a side effect, generate most of the RUN_DEPENDS list
at runtime.
- Add a script to start softsqueeze. The javavm port and a Jave VM
must be installed to the script to actually work. A dependency was
not added at this point because that's a huge barrier.
- Fix a bug in EXCEPTFILES processing.
- Patch the configuration parsing code to default the cache and
playlist directories to locations under /var/db/slimserver instead
of the weird defaults. This will fix the cache on new installs. [0]
- Bump port revision.
