parentUpgrade to v1.0prerelease-1 (diff)
Split the Modula-3 port into two pieces, creating a new port
"modula-3-lib". It installs only the shared libraries needed for executing Modula-3 programs. This saves a lot of disk space for people who need to run Modula-3 programs but don't need to build them. The original "modula-3" port now depends on this one, and uses it to install the compiler and the rest of the development system. Also, everything is now built with optimization. I have been testing this for at least a month, and haven't seen any problems from it. It makes the libraries and executables substantially smaller. This new port also includes some hooks that will make SOCKS support possible in the near future.
