hunspell-en_* @2017.08.24_1 do not build on 10.5.8

[udbraumann]

While upgrading hunspell-dict-en_US from 2006-02-07_0 to 2006-02-07_1 which in fact will upgrade to hunspell-en_US @2017.08.24_1 I had this trouble:

...

Looking closer at the problem I found that inside /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_hunspell-en/hunspell-en_US/work/scowl-2017.08.24/speller/munch-list the system's ancient /usr/bin/perl is being called:

$/usr/bin/perl -version

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
(with 4 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

However, in the main.log (attached) I found that the presence of a much newer MacPorts-provided perl is being checked:

...
:debug:main No need to upgrade! perl5.24 5.24.2_0 >= perl5.24 5.24.2_0
...

What I did was the following hack: I replaced the very first line inside /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_hunspell-en/hunspell-en_US/work/scowl-2017.08.24/speller/munch-list from

#!/usr/bin/perl

to

#!/opt/local/bin/perl

This kind of hack will work for all SCOWL based hunspell english dictionaries, e.g. hunspell-en_CA, hunspell-en_GB and so on.

Good catch! Unfortunately, there are a large number of perl scripts here.

I'll fix them all...
