(www/cgic) Update HOMEPAGE (to github)

Changes 2.06:
* In main(), when parsing form input fails, the CGI script exits without
  producing any output whatsoever.  Wouldn't it be better to actually
  emit an error status, instead of expecting the server to do something
  sane with a script that produces no output?

* In mpRead(), a check is done to insure the requested length is not
  greater than the amount of data still available, and to adjust it
  if necessary.  However, this check is currently done _after_ reading
  data from the putback buffer, in which process len is decremented by
  the amount of putback data read, but mpp->offset is not correspondingly
  incremented (this happens later).  As a result, the check uses too
  small a value for len, and so fails to stop reading soon enough if
  the requested length is greater than what is available _and_ there
  was any data in the putback buffer.
  The fix is to move the check to the beginning of mpRead()

* Further, if a read request is satisfied _entirely_ from the putback
  buffer, mpp->offset is not updated at all, resulting in a similar
  problem.  The solution is to update mpp->offset in the "else if (got)"
  case.

* In cgiParsePostMultipartInput(), if the Content-Disposition of a part
  is not "form-data", afterNextBoundary() is not called before beginning
  to process the next part.  As a result, parsing of the next part headers
  begins with the body of the unwanted part.  It is necessary in this case
  to call afterNextBoundary() before continuing with the next cycle.

* In handling out-of-memory conditions in afterNextBoundary(), *outP is
  set to '\0'.  While this is technically legal ('\0' is "an integral
  constant expression with the value 0"), it looks funny.

* In cgiCookieString(), a change was introduced in v2.02 which purports
  to prevent an overrun in cases where cgiCookie is exactly equal to
  the requested cookie name.  In fact, the problem can also occur if
  the requested name occurs with no values at the end of cgiCookie.
  Further, the change from v2.02 does not fix the problem, because it
  compares the _pointers_ p and n to NULL, which they will never equal,
  rather than comparing the pointers they point at to NUL.

* Also in cgiCookieString(), there is a comment suggesting that the main
  loop never terminates except with a return.  This is not the case.
  For example, it will terminate if the requested cookie is not found
  and the cgiCookie string ends in a semicolon.

* Why did days[] (formerly daysOfWeek[]) and months[] become non-static?
  This pollutes the namespace of programs using CGIC.

* In cgiReadEnvironment(), when reading in the contents of an uploaded
  file, it is possible that a temporary file is successfully created
  but then cannot be opened.  In this case, no attempt is made to remove
  the tempoary file.

* Further, when a form entry does _not_ include an uploaded file,
  e->tfileName is set to malloc'd but uninitialized memory.  It should
  be set to an empty string, by setting e->tfileName[0] to zero after
  the 1-byte buffer is allocated.

Drop superfluous PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT, "user-destdir" is default these days.

Make sure the correct install tool is used.

Mark as destdir ready.

Prepare for switching to NO_MTREE=yes.

Reset the maintainer's email address, at his own request.

Changes 2.05:
Temporary files used to accept file uploads were not closed properly. This
resulted in a file descriptor leak, which was unlikely to be serious because of
the short lifespan of CGI programs and the fact that very few forms upload many
files at once. However, on the Windows platform and possibly some others, file
locking semantics prevented file uploads from working at all with these files
not properly closed. Fixed in 2.05.

Changes 2.04:
Documentation fixes: the cgiHtmlEscape, cgiHtmlEscapeData, cgiValueEscape, and
cgiValueEscapeData routines were named incorrectly in the manual. No code
changes in version 2.04.

Changes 2.03:
Support for setting cookies has been reimplemented. The new code closely
follows the actual practice of web sites that successfully use cookies, rather
than attempting to implement the specification. The new code can successfully
set more than one cookie at a time in typical web browsers.

Remove USE_BUILDLINK3 and NO_BUILDLINK; these are no longer used.

Libtool fix for PR pkg/26633, and other issues.  Update libtool to 1.5.10
in the process.  (More information on tech-pkg.)

Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.

Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.

Initial import of cgic, version 2.02, provided by cinnion at ka8zrt.com:

This is the code written to accompany Thomas Boutell's book "CGI
Programming in C & Perl".  It provides a library of routines for use
in CGI programming, and unlike cgilib-0.5, this library handles the
"multipart/form-data" encoding required to use the FILE input control
type as defined in the HTML specification.

NOTE: It should be aware that there were a few developer visible changes
made from Thomas Boutell's original distribution when integrating it
with the NetBSD packages environment.  They are:

1) Instead of being yet another source file which is used in building
   the application, the package have been converted totally into a
   library format.  This library is linked using "-lcgic".
2) As a result of the first item, the developer no longer writes their
   entry point under the function name of cgiMain().  Instead, the
   user will provide their own main(), and will need to call cgiInit()
   before any other cgic function is called.
