RFE: Allow packages in base/src to use different libs

[sfiera@…]

There are a number of different dylibs that are compiled in base/src/*: macports; pextlib; darwintracelib; tclobjc; and in the future, cflib and registry2.0. All of these need different libraries to function, but there's not currently a way to link different libraries into the different dylibs (well, cflib and tclobjc sort of do it, but they still link a lot of unnecessary stuff). I've prepared a patch that will allow these different packages to have full control over the libs they link to.

While I don't think it's all that detrimental to link libz, libcurl, libcrypto, sqlite3, and readline into e.g. darwintracelib, I'm pretty sure it's not necessary--I've installed the results of my patch and port -t still works just fine--and it strikes me as safer/cleaner.

Uh, you do realize that your patch includes lots of changes to PortIndex and various Portfiles, right? Please clean it up and resubmit.

Realized it yesterday, but hadn't had the time to clean it up until now. Fixed.

Merged in as r27295, r27296, r27297
