Description:

The Modular Shader Language (MSL) is a pre-compiled shader language with multiple targets. It is effectively a wrapper around GLSL and relies on external tools to handle the main work of the compilation. The primary goals are: * Provide an environment more similar to other compiled languages, such as access to a preprocessor and compile-time errors that point to the file. * Allow targeting multiple platforms with different capabilities with the same source. * Relies on official and external tools as much as possible. This makes the language easier to extend and maintain and allows other third party tools, such as optimizers, to be used. * Allows all stages of the pipeline to be specified in the same source. This gives more flexibility in how you organize your source. * Allows for render states and sampler states to be declared in the shader. This gives more flexibility in client applications by allowing these to be set in the shader without hard-coding them in the application. * Pipeline is linked when compiling the shader modules, allowing for earlier checks and easier loading of shaders in the final application.

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.
