arts-1.1.2_5 doesn't build at all

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Scott Petersen ​reported on macports-users list that aRts fails to build, failing to apply the first patchfile. I get a different error when I try ("configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"). I looked at the portfile, and it is doing some very strange things (16 patchfiles, overridden patch procedure, quotes around all the various arguments and flags which is no longer necessary or supported with MacPorts 1.6.0, weird changing of PATH, weird compiler selection for darwin 8 powerpc, etc, etc, etc).

Well, it's not fixed, but it's a little better:

• r32456: removed the quotes; now we're past "cannot create executables" anyway
• r32457: no need to specify ${extract.suffix} like that
• r32458: use ${extract.suffix} where appropriate
• r32459: use ${x11prefix} instead of hardcoding /usr/X11R6
• r32460: don't print the string "depends_lib" before building
• r32461: whitespace changes: expand tabs
• r32462: no need to specify ${distname} like that
• r32463: whitespace changes: one item per line
• r32464: use port:X-style dependencies

See #18690, to get rid of the arts port.
