Here a new attempt to update it to 6.9.1. It doesn't need specific
changes for llvm22.
As my previous attempt got no feedback (specially from users with
hardware), I think we should just update it as "best we can do" and it
will be better than removing it.
I agree with that. The user that expressed an interest in the port already
pointed out that the port as-is doesn't work with today's hardware anymore,
and giving feedback on an existing, recent version of brltty is probably
easier for potential users, too.
The diff is mostly an update started from my previous 6.5 attempt. So it
is still a rewrite of the misc/brltty port.
Comments or OK ?
* The git rename in the diff is a bit confusing at first :-)
* Adding the attached patch lets us build the "fv" screen-driver as well.
ok volker@ with or without the additional patch.
