Previously, when eg MODPY_VERSION is a substring of a variable added
to SUBST_VARS in a port's Makefile, pain on update-plist can ensue.
Makes updates on www/py-django more fun. Tests and feedback from
merdely@ and Darrin Chandler; thanks!

it makes more sense to add devhelp as run_depends for gnome-session and
leave it to the user to install it manually for other packages

Vala is a new programming language that aims to bring modern programming
language features to GNOME developers without imposing any additional
runtime requirements and without using a different ABI compared to
applications and libraries written in C.
valac, the Vala compiler, is a self-hosting compiler that translates
Vala source code into C source and header files. It uses the GObject
type system to create classes and interfaces declared in the Vala source
code. It's also planned to generate GIDL files when gobject-
introspection is ready.

This is a package designed to teach the Tcl programming language in a
quick and easy manner. The goal is to teach the minimal amount of Tcl
syntax, commands and options that are necessary to write useful
programs.
from Stuart Cassoff (aa72aa60 at sympatico.ca)
Highlights of Tcl 8.5
* Speed: 8.5 now runs 10% faster than 8.4 with bytecode
improvements, object caching and reduced memory usage.
* Bignums: Tcl now supports arbitrary-precision integers,
which improves math operations on large integers.
* Safer interps: Tcl's powerful safe interpreter mechanism
now has improved control of time and command limits in
slave interpreters.
* clock command: More robust implementation of command for
specifying time, with significant l10n and i18n
improvements.
* dict command: New data structure that allows access to
data by value rather than a variable name, which is
substantially faster.
* Additional improvements: Faster list search, new and
improved mathematics procedures, anonymous procedures, new
ways to package Tcl extensions, Tcl-level custom channel
types, file and line location information for each
command, and more.

This'll prevent setuptools from creating egg-info filenames
encoded with the package version (even when MODPY_SETUPTOOLS
isn't enabled).

This is a long overdue update which contains lots of bug fixes and some
security fixes.
Take over maintainership from msf@.
Tested by many. Thank you very much!
