preparatory step to convert bsd.python.mk into a USES file.
- Remove the shared/static build separation, which is the source of many
problems and even more hacks. Instead build only the shared version, which
greatly simplifies the build.
- Remove the FPECTL option to align the build with the clean "template" from
lang/python34.
- Remove support for GNU pthreads via the PTH option. It is a permanent
troublemaker for ports using Python and pthread support.
- Remove PORTDATA and EXAMPLES. Those will be made available via separate
ports.
- Add a new DEBUG option to enable debug builds as for lang/python34.
- Remove bin/smtpd. Only Python2.7 wants to install it, but we'd like to keep
it consistent with the other lang/pythonXX ports
- Add CPE support.
- Reactivate curses/ncurses support.
- Use buildbottest in the regression-test: target.
- Move pkg-message to the right place.

- align databases/py-bsddb patch for python27 - most of it was applied
upstream. Raise BDB version to 4.3 atleast, according to
upstream requirements.

- 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:

and also add experimental support for POSIX semaphores in FreeBSD
7-STABLE and up. The option knobs PTH and SEM respectively are
added to enable this behaviour.
Python is able to use POSIX semaphores for thread synchronization
in threading, and prefers them.
The multiprocessing module in Python 2.6 requires POSIX semaphores,
however, the FreeBSD rtld and malloc need further work to allow
a process to call pthread_create() immediately after fork() as it is
not something allowed by a strict interpretation of the POSIX specs;
therefore allow GNU Pth to be used until the situation is resolved.
