erlang: make binary distributable

Description (last modified by ci42)
Erlang is currently not distributable in binary form:
$ ./port_binary_distributable.tcl -v erlang dependency 'gdbm' has license 'GPL-3+' which conflicts with license 'MPL' from 'erlang'
gdbm is a dependency of perl wich is only needed at build time. Using the 'license_noconflict' (see the attached patch) keyword erlang would be distributable:
$ ./port_binary_distributable.tcl -v erlang erlang is distributable
Or, as mentioned here http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2012-December/021280.html the dependency on perl could be dropped altogether.

Marked perl5 as non conflicting in r101327.
@bfulgham: Please consider dropping the dependency on perl altogether. I'll leave the ticket open until then.

Removed dependency on perl in r118972.

tickets.
Another possibility would be to make perl's gdbm support a non-default variant. GPLv3 is probably a problem for distributability of a lot of other perl dependents too.
