Remove "configure.compiler gcc-4.0" from all "platform darwin 8" sections

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Many ports have used this construct:

platform darwin 8 {
    configure.compiler gcc-4.0
}

This is no longer necessary since MacPorts 1.6 already uses GCC 4.0 by default on Tiger. See ​this message on the macports-users.

I removed the unnecessary darwin 8 platform from all nomaintainer and openmaintainer ports in r33297 and for all my ports in r33298.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The above changes were made by doing a multi-file find and replace in TextWrangler. The search regular expression was

(?s)\s*platform\s+darwin\s+8\s*{\s+configure\.compiler\s+gcc-4\.0\s+}

The replacement string was the empty string.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Occurrences of "configure.compiler gcc-4.0" inside remaining platform darwin 8 sections were removed for all nomaintainer and openmaintainer ports in r33301 and for my ports in r33302.

These changes were made by doing a multi-file find and replace using the search regular expression

(?s)(platform\s+darwin\s+8\s*{[^}]*?)\s+configure\.compiler\s+gcc-4\.0([^}]*})

and the replacement string

\1\2

One remaining occurrence in the portfile for shells/fish was fixed by hand.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

There now remain a number of ports maintained by a number of different people which still contain the unnecessary configure.compiler gcc-4.0 directive.

I would like to remove the directive from these portfiles as well. I already have the necessary changes made in a working copy on my machine. I intend to commit them after allowing 72 hours for any objections to be voiced.

I'll send an email to these maintainers informing them of this plan.
