This is Google's newly released build system (brother of configure, make,
cmake, ant, etc).

This port builds and works, however it depends on yet unreleased devel/protobuf
version v3.0.0-alpha-3 (last released version is 2.6.1).

I requested bazel developers to either include non-standard version into their
build, or switch to the last released version. Once they do this, I will update
this bug report and label it "ready".

It doesn't look like bazel is a great build system. It is badly bloated,
depends on Java, and suffers from some shortcomings. But I already spotted
several projects that depend on bazel for their build. So it is important to
have it in FreeBSD to unblock such ports.

So this is pending bug for now.
