f99369f3ff * Sect 15.13 ("Prefix") is now part of a new chapter, "Testing your port"
* Ditto for 15.20 ("Portlint")

* Move the text that describes how to choose a good package name in to
  the same chapter as the text that describes PORTNAME et al.

* Split "Naming and categorisation" in to two distinct sections.  Move
  the chapter that describes how to choose a category (and lists the
  existing categories) next to the section that describes CATEGORIES.

* Move the licensing discussion in to the "Special considerations"
  chapter.  While I'm here, document RESTRICTED_FILES.

14fce74eed * Moved the information about DIST_SUBDIR in to a more useful place.
* Added information about EXTRACT_SUFX, and reworded the DISTFILES
   section slightly.

 * Shift section 4.6 ("Optional Dependencies") in to a subsection in the
   main dependencies section.

 * Added information about WRKDIR and NO_WRKSUBDIR.

 * Moved the section that talks about RCS strings in patches in to the
   larger section that talks about generating patches.

 * Moved the section that talks about using recursive diff when
   generating patches (and not using patches to remove files) to the
   section that talks about patching.  The text is a bit stilted now,
   but that can be fixed in a later commit.

 * Nuked the "Do include package section" information.  It's a two line
   section that's better handled as a note elsewhere.

 * Nuked the final chapter ("Th-th-th-th-th-that's all folks").

 * 'USE_MOTIF' was spelled 'REQUIRE_MOTIF'.  Fix that.
