(1) Describe the change in ports skeleton layout. I think I caught
everything, but please let me know if I missed something.
(2) Explicitly allow using things other than the "split" sequence (aa,
ab, ac...) in patchfile names, in particular those that represent
the names of the files being patched.
(3) Add a little note recommending the use of DISTFILES over
DISTNAME/WRKSRC/EXTRACT_SUFX when the source extracts into
${WRKDIR}/${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION} but the archive filename is
not ${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}.tar.gz.
(4) There is error checking in category names now.
(5) There are more MASTER_SITE_* variables now, so just list a couple
and refer the readers to bsd.sites.mk.
(6) Explain EXTRACT_PATCHES. In particular, note that you shouldn't
copy patches into ${PATCHDIR}.
(7) Mention that pkg-install is called with sh.
(8) The first letter of the package name should be lowercase. (We'll
rename existing ports soon.)

paragraphs I was editing. It seems emacs some times messes up
auto-indentation, causing stuff like
===

description on how to use or compile the port! <emphasis>Please
be careful if you are copying from the
===
(the "be careful" should be in the same level as "description")
Also, convert a couple of "Note that" to real <note>'s.
One action, 3 changes. Perhaps, this will be my only incursion outside of ports for some time.
1) (ports) Added myself to xearth committers.marker (1st Brazilian, one of the only Latin Americans).
2) (www) Added an announcement to newsflash about this.
3) (doc) Both removed myself from contrib, then added an authors identity for myself and and entry to almighty staff area.
with SYSTEM, and using instead PUBLIC entities gained from the catalog
in the directory of the language the document belongs to, or the
language-neutral entity. Now we always use default.dsl as our dsl
master, and it grabs the necessary magic from the catalogs.
b) Fix the always-out-of-date imagelib problem with some make(1)-fu.

target uses -- this ensures that any options (such as "OMITTAG NO") that
are used when building the docs are also used when linting them, so that
errors don't slip through the cracks.
Prompted by r1.93 of the FAQ.
