    Add WWW entries to port Makefiles · b7f05445
    Stefan Eßer authored
    It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
    ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
    URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
    
    Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
    they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
    present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
    the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
    port specific URL to further information.
    
    There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
    a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
    
    This commit implements such a proposal and moves one of the WWW: entries
    of each pkg-descr file into the respective port's Makefile. A heuristic
    attempts to identify the most relevant URL in case there is more than
    one WWW: entry in some pkg-descr file. URLs that are not moved into the
    Makefile are prefixed with "See also:" instead of "WWW:" in the pkg-descr
    files in order to preserve them.
    
    There are 1256 ports that had no WWW: entries in pkg-descr files. These
    ports will not be touched in this commit.
    
    The portlint port has been adjusted to expect a WWW entry in each port
    Makefile, and to flag any remaining "WWW:" lines in pkg-descr files as
    deprecated.
