To all interested parties,

I've been delaying the upgrade of the emboss and embassy
ports, because they are currently conflicting with other
ports if installed into the default ($LOCALBASE) prefix.

I've now got patches ready for submission that change the
default PREFIX for both ports. From EMBOSS-3.0.0, they will
install by default in $LOCALBASE/emboss

As usual, EMBASSY should be installed into the same prefix
as EMBOSS. The default PREFIX is thus the same for both
ports.  However users installing these ports into other
places, should set PREFIX to the same path for both EMBOSS
and EMBASSY.

Finally, installing into $LOCALBASE (/usr/local) is also
possible if you set PREFIX to this value manually. But, 
you will have to take care of conflicting ports yourself.

Patches are in
http://genoma.unsam.edu.ar/~fernan/freebsd/emboss/

The updated emboss-3.0.0 port will include all bugfixes posted
after the release:
ftp://emboss.open-bio.org/pub/EMBOSS/fixes/README

I'll submit a PR with the updates soon.

Fernan
