Currently, the hylafax port has a few flaws -- it uses
the libz and regex libraries that come with the software
instead of the implementations available on FreeBSD and
ignores the local CFLAGS settings. It also needlessly (it
seems) requires gmake.

options `start' and `stop' now (unless I have forgotten any). This allows
us to call the scripts from /etc/rc.shutdown with the correct option.
The (42 or so) ports that already DTRT before are unchanged.
which officially fixes the setuid security exploit by the vendors.
Additionally, from the PR:
* adds in distribution patches to allow it to interoperate
with libtiff-3.5.5 (the current version in the ports tree),
and replace an original FreeBSD patch.
* includes security patches (replacements of 'strcpy' and
'sprintf', primarily), mostly based on patches originally
submitted by Alex Langer [1] for 4.0pl2 and not yet commited,
although some new work was done too.
[1] I don't think, that these were my patches but those submitted by
John Holland <john@zoner.org> in PR 19180.
* Fixes some issues with the configure/setup scripts introduced
since the previous version.
* Additionally, original FreeBSD patches from 4.0pl2 were
merged in where they were not addressed by anything else.
(except the I18N patch, sorry).
I removed the FORBIDDEN line since there are at least no obvious security
concerns left.

Note that this port currently has no MAINTAINER, so will probably stay
broken until it either gets upgraded or fixed by someone who actually uses
it.

installs the version of the port that uses shared library number 9 and the
LIBRARY_VERSION set to the default. Normally this is against our policy
(bumping the version number for minor things), however due to the major
problems caused with the upgrade, Satoshi and I decided that this was best.

comment from Lars follows:
Included is an updated patch-ab file for hylafax for current that
fixes the busywait that occurred once the fifo_poll() fix went into
the kernel in December.
The symptoms were that faxqetty and faxq would chew up an inordinate
amount of time waiting for input form their FIFOS. Basically the
kernel fix was to make select() return a 1 on EOF (in accordance
with POSIX) and for read() to keep returning 0 on EOF (which is
the state you are in if you open the fifo for reading in non-blocking
mode and there are no writers).

(1) pkg_* can't handle absolute paths, so use two @cwd's and relative paths
throughout.
(2) pkg_* can't handle FIFOs, so use mkfifo to create it and rm to delete it.
(3) pkg_* can't handle empty directories, so create them with mkdir.
(4) the @mode/@owner/@group directives don't appear to work so use @exec
to set all the modes.
all the COMMENTs! No package names, no version numbers, no "this is
absolutix-3.1.2" type comments that have zero information contents.
Now, without any bad examples to follow, nobody has an excuse to import
a port with those kind of comments. :)
Phew! 238 ports modified!
does not define INSTALL, so that the one in the source will be
honored.
(2) Change comments about "mv patch-ab patch-ab.mv", that won't work.
It should be "rm patch-ab".
(3) EXEC_DEPENDS now have ghostview, gs and bash.
(4) Compress manpages.
(5) Remove post-clean target, there is no such thing! ("make clean"
will delete the whole work/ subdirectory anyway.)
