Greetings,

attached is an updated port for mail/claws-mail

The difference is, that this port build also the litehtml_viewer
plugin. This plugin is based on www/gumbo and can render HTML e-mails.
It exists since claws-mai 3.17.4.

Before that, usage of the dillo plugin was the common method to view
HTML mails. But since the dillo plugin embeds the entire dillo web
browser, the dillo plugin makes HTTP(S) requests at will and loads
resources over the net, if referenced from the HTML code in the e-mail.
This raises privacy concerns.

Gumbo is a pure "offline" HTML5 rendering library. This makes
the litehtml_viewer plugin not only preferable regarding to privacy, it
also does a better job on rendering modern HTML code.

The port didn't build at first because of compatibility issues of c++
versions. I added three patches in order to build it without errors.
I also modified Makefile, adding www/gumbo as a dependency.

I attached the complete port, since "cvs diff -uRN" didn't create
diffs for the newly added files. despite it says so in the command
description.

Regards,

Henry
