Erwin is currently running a build on i386-10 with this and the
following patches:
- bsd.port.mk patch from beat (based on ed@, jilles@ and stas@ patches)
- python patch from beat
- python patch from linimon
- WITH_FBSD10_FIX in:
        - textproc/expat2
        - devel/pcre
        - devel/libtool
        - audio/libogg
Results by Monday.

If everything goes OK, we'll commit the patch. We're not sure if we'll
have enough time for running other -exps to find the broken ports that
need the "fix" before we need to concentrate on building the packages
for the release, but we'll try.
