${OPT}_CONFIGURE_ON=<something> will automatically add:
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=<something> in case OPT is activated

${OPT_CONFIGURE_OFF=<something> will automatically add:
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=<something> in case OPT is deactivated

${OPT}_CFLAGS will append the specified new flags to CFLAGS if OPT is 'on'
${OPT}_CXXFLAGS will append the specified new flags to CXXFLAGS if OPT is 'on'
${OPT}_LDFLAGS will append the specified new flags to LDFLAGS if OPT is 'on'

${OPT}_CONFIGURE_ENV will append the specified variables to CONFIGURE_ENV if
OPT is 'on'
${OPT}_MAKE_ENV will append the specified variables to MAKE_ENV if OPT is 'on'

${OPT}_USES will append the speficied uses to USES if OPT is 'on'

${OPT}_DISTFILES will append the specified distiles to DISTFILES if OPT in 'on'

${OPT}_CMAKE_ON=<something> will automatically add:
CMAKE_ARGS+=<something> in case OPT is activated

* New 'display' USES macro to handle building ports that may require a
a display to build.

USES= display[:install] will start Xvfb and set the DISPLAY environment
variable before the installation phase and stop it at the end. (install is
the implicit value)

USES= display:build will start Xvfb and set the DISPLAY environment variable
before the build phase and stop it at the end.

* Checks were added to block GH_TAGNAME=master as this is not a valid
setup. A known hash or tag should be used for GH_TAGNAME instead of
a branch name. As soon as a branch is updated, the known checksum
in the distinfo would then be invalid.

* WRKSRC_SUBDIR has been added to simplify overriding WRKSRC
to use a subdirectory:

Becomes:

* Two new USES macros to handle mime data of ports.

USES= desktop-file-utils
Handles MimeType in .desktop files that are installed in
share/applications.
USES= shared-mime-info
For supporting mime xml files installed in
share/mime/packages.

The desktop-file-utils USES is only needed if the .desktop files
installed by the port has a MimeType field.
USE_GNOME=desktopfileutils is deprecated.

The shared-mime-info USES handles mime types xml files.
Please note that only the packages/${NAME}.xml file should be listed in
the plist. The shared-mime-info port will clean up the share/mime/*
directories and generated files.

Both USES have there own post-install and code that adds @exec/@unexec
lines to the pkg-plist. This means that when a port switches to the
USES macro, the related post-install command and @exec/@unexec
lines can be removed from the prot.

ncurses
USES= ncurses:base will force to link against base version of ncurses.

CMAKE_OUTSOURCE:

USES= cmake:outsource
to perform out-of-source build (equivalent to former pair usage of
USE_CMAKE/CMAKE_OUTSOURCE)

USES= cmake
In-source build (equivalent to plain USE_CMAKE=yes) can be used if
project doesn't support out-of-source build.

* The options framework now uses ports-mgmt/dialog4ports contributed by
Ilya A. Arkhipov. It boostraps it if not present when one calls
make config.

dialog4ports provides a new UI able to represent all the features
provided by the new options framework.
