FreeBSD converters : iconv

Charset conversion library and utilities

 ICONV is 1) the library (libiconv.a and .so) for conversion between
various charsets, 2) the command line utility (iconv) and 3) a set
of charsets (tables and shared modules).

33 charsets are supported in this port: most Unicode encodings,
all charsets for which locale exist in FreeBSD, few IBM-DOS ones.
Other charsets are provided as standalone ports.

Add a patch to fix a bug where iconv() did not return -1 properly on
conversion error.  This fixes null conversion and all the case where
errno is set.

Bump PORTREVISION.

v. 1.9
date: 2002/03/18 09:43:24;  author: sobomax;  state: Exp;  lines: +4 -4
Iconv cleanup, stage 1a: remove `g' prefix from binaries, headers, libraries and
manpages installed by libiconv (aka GNU iconv) and add similar `b'-prefixes
into components installed by iconv (aka BSD iconv). The reason why we do this
is because unfortunately BSD iconv become abadonware (author doesn't maintain
it anymore), while number of ports that need functional iconv library grows
very fast, thus creating significant overhead due to patches needed to make
ports working with prefixed GNU iconv. For compatibility reasons create
symlinks in GNU iconv, so that all ports that expect GNU iconv to have `g'
prefix should work unmodified until all those `g'-hacks are wiped out.

v. 1.8
date: 2000/11/30 09:23:33;  author: sobomax;  state: Exp;  lines: +8 -1
Fixes:
- Fix pkg-plist in the case when NOPROFILE isn't defined;
- fix breakage on system with old perl < 5.6.0 (4-STABLE and downward) by
  including pre-generated on 5-CURRENT files. Perl scripts supplied with the
  port have some problems with old perl and I hope Konstantin will address this
  problem in the next v. of iconv.

v. 1.6
date: 2000/09/24 21:48:01;  author: knu;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -2
Update iconv POSIX-compliant charset conversion library to 1.1.

Fixed problems:

  - All the modules are linked against libiconv.  iconv() now can be
    called from other shared libraries (it could only be called from
    executables in iconv-1.0);

  - Case insensitive recognition of charset names.  There was a bug in
    1.0: the first letter of a charset name was case sensitive;

  - Modified behaviour of iconv() used with (inbytesleft == NULL) or
    (*inbytesleft = 0): now iconv silently returns 0; in 1.0 it
    returned (size_t)(-1) and set errno=EINVAL. According to POSIX
    specification both ways are correct; the new behaviour is just
    less restrictive.

Rename INSTALLS_SHLIBS to INSTALLS_SHLIB.  (There was a typo in the
previous commit message to bsd.port.mk, which said INSTALL_SHLIBS.  Boo.)

Line up the rhs of variable assignments nicely.  Remove a couple of extra
