* Add new emulator framework in pkgsrc/mk/emulator that handles all
binary-only packages that require binary "emulation" on the native operating system. Please see pkgsrc/mk/emulator/README for more details. * Teach the plist framework to automatically use any existing PLIST.${EMUL_PLATFORM} as part of the default PLIST_SRC definition. * Convert all of the binary-only packages in pkgsrc to use the emulator framework. Most of them have been tested to install and deinstall correctly. This involves the following cleanup actions: * Remove use of custom PLIST code and use PLIST.${EMUL_PLATFORM} more consistently. * Simplify packages by using default INSTALL and DEINSTALL scripts instead of custom INSTALL/DEINSTALL code. * Remove "SUSE_COMPAT32" and "PKG_OPTIONS.suse" from pkgsrc. Packages only need to state exactly which emulations they support, and the framework handles any i386-on-x86_64 or sparc-on-sparc64 uses. * Remove "USE_NATIVE_LINUX" from pkgsrc. The framework will automatically detect when the package is installing on Linux. Specific changes to packages include: * Bump the PKGREVISIONs for all of the suse100* and suse91* packages due to changes in the +INSTALL/+DEINSTALL scripts used in all of the packages. * Remove pkgsrc/emulators/suse_linux, which is unused by any packages. * cad/lc -- remove custom code to create the distinfo file for all supported platforms; just use "emul-fetch" and "emul-distinfo" instead. * lang/Cg-compiler -- install the shared libraries under ${EMULDIR} instead of ${PREFIX}/lib so that compiled programs will find the shared libraries. * mail/thunderbird-bin-nightly -- update to latest binary distributions for supported platforms. * multimedia/ns-flash -- update Linux version to 9.0.48 as the older version is no longer available for interactive fetch. * security/uvscan -- set LD_LIBRARY_PATH explicitly so that it's not necessary to install library symlinks into ${EMULDIR}/usr/local/lib. * www/firefox-bin-flash -- update Linux version to 9.0.48 as the older version is no longer available for interactive fetch.
