Description:

Easystroke is a gesture-recognition application for X11. Gestures or strokes are movements that you make with your mouse (or your pen, finger etc.) while holding down a specific mouse button. Easystroke will execute certain actions if it recognizes the stroke; currently easystroke can emulate key presses, execute shell commands, hold down modifiers and emulate a scroll wheel. The program was designed with Tablet PCs in mind and can be used effectively even without access to a keyboard.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles

Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.

This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Approved by:		portmgr (tcberner)

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles

It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.

Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.

There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

During the exp-run in bug 208158, it was found that deskutils/easystroke
gives errors with libc++ 3.8.0:

handler.cc:536:21: error: static declaration of 'abs' follows non-static
declaration
static inline float abs(float x) { return x > 0 ? x : -x; }
 ^
/usr/include/c++/v1/math.h:646:1: note: previous definition is here
abs(float __lcpp_x) _NOEXCEPT {return fabsf(__lcpp_x);}
^

This is because easystroke tries to roll its own version of abs(), which
is already defined in math.h. Fix this by removing the custom abs().

Easystroke is a gesture-recognition application for X11. Gestures or
strokes are movements that you make with your mouse (or your pen,
finger etc.) while holding down a specific mouse button. Easystroke
will execute certain actions if it recognizes the stroke; currently
easystroke can emulate key presses, execute shell commands, hold down
modifiers and emulate a scroll wheel. The program was designed with
Tablet PCs in mind and can be used effectively even without access to
a keyboard.
