./converters/libiconv, Character set conversion library

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.17, Package name: libiconv-1.17, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

libiconv is a character set conversion library that provides an iconv()
implementation for use on systems which don't have one, or whose
implementation cannot convert from/to Unicode.

It provides support for many encodings and can convert from any of
these encodings to any other, through Unicode conversion.

It has also some limited support for transliteration, i.e. when a character
cannot be represented in the target character set, it can be approximated
through one or several similarly looking characters. Transliteration is
activated when "//TRANSLIT" is appended to the target encoding name.

libiconv is for you if your application needs to support multiple character
encodings, but that support lacks from your system.

Log message:
*/builtin.mk: Use ${_CROSS_DESTDIR:U} for build-time file checks.

These are questions about the target system, whose files at
build-time are all relative to ${_CROSS_DESTDIR} if it is defined,
i.e., if USE_CROSS_COMPILE is set to yes.

No change to native builds because ${_CROSS_DESTDIR:U} is empty in
them.  (Possible minor change by adding :Q to ${H_FOO} in command
lines, but if this makes a difference it likely fixes problems.)

Log message:
libXpm: Add USE_EXPLICIT_LIBDEPS, set to no.

This variable controls whether we add the explicit library dependencies from
libiconv and gettext-lib, required by this package as it's a bit special in how
it handles libintl.

Log message:
all: migrate several HOMEPAGEs to https

pkglint --only "https instead of http" -r -F

With manual adjustments afterwards since pkglint 19.4.4 fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines.

This mainly affects projects hosted at SourceForce, as well as
freedesktop.org, CTAN and GNU.
