New port: gcab

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

gcab is a program to create Microsoft cabinet (.cab) archives. It's a dependency for building ​msitools, which I'm working on next.

Portfile for gcab

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

• Regarding master_sites, you probably want "gnome:sources/${name}/${branch}/"
• Is the gettext library really not used?
• The glib2 dependency should be written so that glib2-devel could satisfy it; see any other port that depends on glib2 for an example.
• There should be more than one checksum listed.

OK, that works (once I add the branch variable in the first place, that is), thanks. Changed.

• Is the gettext library really not used?

I had originally only included gettext as a build dependency because I had used gettextize at one point, but after checking "port -q contents gcab | xargs file | grep Mach-O | cut -d\: -f1 | cut -d\ -f1 | uniq | xargs otool -L | grep version | grep /opt/local | cut -d\ -f1 | xargs port -q provides | cut -d\: -f2 | sort | uniq ", it turns out it is actually a library dependency, along with libffi and libiconv, so I moved gettext to the library dependencies, and added libffi and libiconv to the library dependencies, as well.

• The glib2 dependency should be written so that glib2-devel could satisfy it; see any other port that depends on glib2 for an example.

Fixed.

• There should be more than one checksum listed.

I had originally only included the sha256 one because it had come pre-calculated in a file named "gcab-0.4.sha256sum"; I've calculated the rest of them now and added them to the portfile now, too, though.

The md5 and "sha" checksums are not necessary and obsolete. Just use rmd160 and sha256 as per the guidelines.

OK, feel free to remove those when committing this.
