efte: update to 1.1

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Here is a patch that makes the following changes to the efte port:

• update efte to 1.1
• use bzip2 distfile because it is smaller
• change no_x11 variant to x11 variant; retain compatibility code to ease upgrades
• use the cmake portgroup
• add ncurses dependency
• change the X dependencies to library dependencies
• use rmd160 and sha256 checksums for distfile
• use system's new -W argument

The problem is it fails in the post-destroot block; the cefte program does not seem to exist anymore. I don't know what it did in efte 0.96 so I don't know whether this post-destroot block needs to be changed in some way or just deleted.

I looked at #39383 and forgot to check if there were any other tickets related to efte already open. I fixed the port (using basically the same fixes as you did except for upgrading the port) and wanted to open a new ticket when I found this one and realized that it cannot hurt to declare maintainer timeout two years after receiving no response from the maintainer.

I committed r115028 with all the changes but the upgrade to 1.1 exactly for the reason you mentioned: the new version doesn't build cefte which seems to be some configuration script and I have no idea how much influence it has if one skips the call.

I forgot to add: I added dependency on xorg-libice and xorg-libX11. The port seems to link against these two, but I didn't do the global cleanup of my libs to make sure that these are really needed. libice seems to be explicitly asked for, I'm not sure about libX11.

    configure.args-delete   "-DBUILD_X=OFF"
    configure.args-append   "-DBUILD_X=ON"
}

They seem to have removed the last system line. My blind guess (apart from the fact that the project doesn't seem active any longer) is that they had a good reason to remove cefte from the available commands, most probably special configuration is not needed any longer.

Please also note that there is macosx/eFTE.xcodeproj in the sources, but I have no idea how it works if it works at all.

The changes on ​http://efte.cowgar.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Changes also list native Cocoa GUI, but it would help to let an actual user of the software comment.
