mail/coolmail: Update maintainer's email

PR:		248687
Submitted by:	Udo.Schweigert@siemens.com (maintainer)

Add USES=xorg USES=gl, ports categories m

Add USES=xorg and USES=gl to ports in categories starting with 'm'
While here, try to sprinkle other USES (mostly gnome and sdl) as needed.

MASTER_SITES cleanup.

- Replace ${MASTER_SITE_FOO} with FOO.
- Merge MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR into MASTER_SITES when possible. (This means 99.9%
 of the time.)
- Remove occurrences of MASTER_SITE_LOCAL when no subdirectory was present and
 no hint of what it should be was present.
- Fix some logic.
- And generally, make things more simple and easy to understand.

While there, add magic values to the FESTIVAL, GENTOO, GIMP, GNUPG, QT and
SAMBA macros.

Also, replace some EXTRACT_SUFX occurences with USES=tar:*.
