Diff between 2.44 and 2.50 ports for Frotz.

I'm the custodian of Frotz, have released version 2.50, and would like to t=
ake
over custody of the FreeBSD ports package.  My changes to this package remo=
ves
audio support, which now requires some additional libraries (libao, libvorb=
is,
libmodplug, libsamplerate, and libsndfile).  I did this to avoid making a m=
ess
for people who'd rather not install them (ie, running on a headless server)=

I'll be adding flavors for audio and graphics support later.  The Dumb port
(dfrotz) is still installed alongside the silent version of Curses Frotz
because there's negligible additional cost to do so.

Summary of changes between Frotz 2.44 and Frotz 2.50:
