in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:

which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.
Light blue touch-paper. Run.
The libjit library implements Just-In-Time compilation
functionality. Unlike other JIT's, this one is designed to be
independent of any particular virtual machine bytecode format
or language. The hope is that Free Software projects can get a
leg-up on proprietry VM vendors by using this library rather
than spending large amounts of time writing their own JIT from
scratch.
This JIT is also designed to be portable to multiple
archictures. If you run libjit on a machine for which a native
code generator is not yet available, then libjit will fall back
to interpreting the code. This way, you don't need to write
your own interpreter for your bytecode format if you don't want
to.
