[NEW PORT] slrn development snapshot

Description

I wrote a new port for the development cvs snapshot of slrn. This is the same used in debian unstable.
I'm not a macports developer, so maybe someone could adopt my port and commit changes when needed.
Variants are tested and seems to work, even if I'm not completely sure for the slrnpull support, because I don't use it.
This slrn version features support for UTF-8 charset, among other enhancements.

Committed in r22124, thanks for the contribution! Notes of interest:

  1. revision defaults to zero, so no need to state it explicitly if that's the value used.
  2. Number of files should be kept to a minimum, so a patch like that is unnecessary as users using the port are already using MacPorts, no need to instruct them to type port install to install the software.
  3. No need to pass --prefix=${prefix} to the configure script, that's basically what MacPorts is for ;-)
  4. Don't hardcode /opt/local in the Portfile, that's the default value of ${prefix} but users are free to choose another one; Portfile should be abstracted from explicit values as much as possible.

Other than that, great work, keep those contributions coming!

PS: Ticket severity should not be Crash/Data loss ;-)
