Based on original patch submitted by wen@ and worked on by lwhsu@,
thank you!

- Add LIBS="${LIBS}" to MAKE_ENV and CONFIGURE_ENV.
- Add an option helper for LIBS.
- Adjust all ports that already use LIBS. Also remove references to
PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS while here.
- Some ports did not support having a LIBS environment variable and
required additional patches.
Somewhat simplified a linker command line looks like:
${CC} ${src_LDFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS} ${src_LIBS} ${LIBS}
where src_LDFLAGS and src_LIBS are controlled by upstream and LDFLAGS and
LIBS can be controlled by us. If possible -L and -l flags need to be
added to LIBS to make sure they appear after any -L and -l flags set by
upstream. Many ports currently add -L${LOCALBASE}/lib to LDFLAGS but this
may appear too early on the command line causing installed libraries to
be linked in instead of freshly built ones.
Additional changes:
benchmarks/netio: Replace WITH_IPV6 with an IPV6 option.
comms/gnokii: Replace some patches with USES=pathfix. Also remove -fPIC.
graphics/gimageview: USES=libtool and install desktop file in DESKTOPDIR.
graphics/visionworkbench: Remove FreeBSD 7 support.
multimedia/libmovtar: New LIB_DEPENDS syntax.
multimedia/opencinematools: Use standard do-build.
net/siproxd: USES=libtool:keepla (port actually needs .la files for plugins)
net-mgmt/nagios: Remove -fPIC.
net-mgmt/nagios4: Remove -fPIC.
print/cups-base: Only add -lssp_nonshared on i386 and OSVERSION < 1000036.
security/p11-kit: Replace PTHREAD_LIBS in CONFIGURE_ENV with
ac_cv_func_pthread_mutexattr_init=no in CONFIGURE_ARGS. This skips a test
in configure that falsely detects pthread_mutexattr_init in our libc.
sysutils/dar: Fix iconv detection.
x11/rxvt-unicode: Remove -lstdc++ and patch configure to remove a FreeBSD
hack and use $CXX as linker as on other platforms.

A vulnerability was reported [1] in Python's socket module, due to a
boundary error within the sock_recvfrom_into() function, which could be
exploited to cause a buffer overflow.
This could be used to crash a Python application that uses the
socket.recvfrom_info() function or, possibly, execute arbitrary code
with the permissions of the user running vulnerable Python code.
This vulnerable function, socket.recvfrom_into(), was introduced in
Python 2.5. Earlier versions are not affected by this flaw. This is
fixed in upstream branches for version 2.7, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3.

and lang/python2 and lang/python3. This change brings us closer to the goal
of making Python ports usable with different Python versions at the same
time.
- Add a new lang/python2 port to handle the symlinks for bin/python2,
bin/idle2, bin/pydoc2 and so on.
- Add a new lang/python3 port to handle the symlinks for bin/python3,
bin/idle3, bin/pydoc3 and so on.
- Bump the PORTREVISION on all lang/python* ports.
. lang/python27: 2.7.3 -> 2.7.5
. lang/python32: 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4
. lang/python33: 3.3.0 -> 3.3.1
- update Mk/bsd.python.mk with new versions
- mark lang/python26 and lang/python31 as deprecated (set them to
upstream EoL dates)
- update docs (lang/python-doc-html)
- align databases/py-bsddb patch for python27 - most of it was applied
upstream. Raise BDB version to 4.3 atleast, according to
upstream requirements.
Many thanks to Martin (miwi) for his time on this update.

- revert erroneous threads patch in lang/python26 and lang/python27,
that was added after ports/131080. It was rejected upstream, because it's
not actually a bug, but misuse.
Gabor Pali (pgj) in collaboration with Kubilay Kocak (koobs) did an
independent investigation regard the issue. See here for details:

for an exp-run of updated python versions.
- trim Makefile headers
- remove leading indefinite article from COMMENT
- use PYTHON shortcut in MASTER_SITES
- whitespace fixes
- remove checks for unsupported versions of FreeBSD
- use static value ``33'' instead of PYTHON_SUFFIX in lang/python33/pkg-plist,
because this value is not supposed to be changed across the branch and for
consistency with other python3 ports
- remove conflicts in lang/python-mode.el with not more existing python-2.4
${PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION}, this generates conflicting packages.
- Create symbolic links as PEP 394 [1] suggests. ${PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION}
will create python and python${MAJOR_VERSION} links. In current default,
lang/python27 will create: python -> python2 -> python2.7
- Introduce ${PYTHON3_DEFAULT_VERSION}, which will handle bin/python3 link.
At this point, lang/python33 will create python3 -> python3.3
- Minor cleanups
* Trim Makefile headers
* Remove ${OSVERSION} detection for xz, whihc is done by USE_XZ

python3 symlink for the latest version of python3.X executable.
People who really want to use older python version for both python branches
should specify explicit version number in interpreter invocation.
Discussed on python@ long ago.
(PYTHON_DISTFILE variable)
- switch lang/python ports (and it's slaves) to tar.xz
I compared all the four pairs .tgz/.tar.xz and they have no content differences.
