New plug-ins for Yorick

[Thibaut Paumard]

Dear MacPorts team,

About three weeks ago, I set out to upgrade the distribution of the
Yorick intepreter in MacPorts. To this effect, I have upgraded the
Portfiles for Yorick and its plug-ins / packages already present in
MacPorts, and submitted new ports.

I am thankful to Ryan and Clemens who committed some of the changes, and
to Joshua and Jeremy who gracefully answered my questions on the mailing
list.

I think I'm done now (although I will, of course, fix bugs, upgrade
Portfiles and submit new plug-ins in the future). Let's just say I've
completed what I wanted to do three weeks ago.

A few (8) new submission tickets remain open, I would be grateful if
someone could have a look and, eventually, commit them. They all include
a Yorick plug-in, although the first two below are more than just that.
