FreeBSD comms : minicom

An MS-DOS Telix serial communication program "workalike"

 Minicom is a serial communication program.  It is a un*x clone of the
well-known MS-DOS Telix program.  It has ANSI color, dialing directory,
dial-a-list, script language, file up/download support, screen capture,
scroll-back, etc.

The author is Miquel van Smoorenburg (miquels@cistron.nl -or-
miquels@drinkel.ow.org).  Note, minicom is covered by the GNU GPL.

remove USE_REINPLACE for all ports with categories starting with C

Make /dev/cuad0 the default serial port in FreeBSD 6 and newer.

Drop the script to choose serial port and make the link from /dev/modem
(I assume people do not need or want it anymore), set the port directly
instead (and let people override with a make switch if they want).
Users can change the default port in the configuration anyway.

Patch configure instead of configure.in & aclocal.m4. Drop USE_AUTOCONF,
to avoid auto* trouble people have had with this port.

Use sed instead of Perl for patching in Makefile.

Make /dev/cuaa0 default port when doing batch builds, as we have no idea
whether /dev/modem is there.

Unbreak: Bento builds should have no problems with minicom now.

Eliminate WRKSRC=${WRKDIR}/${PKGNAME} lines, as these will break when
PORTREVISION or PORTEPOCH are defined.

Most of these Makefiles were defining DISTNAME and WRKSRC (and
sometimes EXTRACT_SUFX) -- change those to define DISTFILES only.
Also, some of the WRKSRC lines were not even necessary, as they were
defining it to the default value.
