vcheck: fix encoding of a file

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

The file ${worksrcpath}/vcheck is in some weird encoding (invalid UTF-8) and fails to work properly when trying to compile it with Python5.22:

/path/to/vcheck-1.2.1/vcheck around line 1833: Non-ASCII character seen before =encoding in '§Usuccessful§N'. Assuming CP1252
POD document had syntax errors at /opt/local/bin/pod2man-5.22 line 68.
Command failed: /opt/local/bin/pod2man-5.22 /path/to/vcheck-1.2.1/vcheck >/path/to/vcheck-1.2.1/vcheck.1
Exit code: 255

Things to consider:

• homepage is gone (therefore, master_sites is invalid)
• code hasn't been updated since 2002.
• use of non-ASCII characters causes trouble not only with Pod::Man processing but with code as well
• does it really do something useful?
• does it work?

I don't think I'd bother with this, but, if you really want to keep it, why not build using the provided Makefile.PL, rather than overriding all the standard phases?

I never said I wanted to keep it. All I wanted to do was to make some progress towards the transition to 5.22 which is when I stumbled across this port.

Replying to mojca@…:

And you're doing that, certainly. I think this one is too old and broken (with Perl 5.22 at least) to worry about but whatever you decide is fine with me.

Port removed in r143634.
