[Midnightbsd-mports] graphics/graphviz, WINE, Firefox

I casually looked into updating graphviz in mports today.  The current  
version is having some problems on magus, and we might as well go to a  
newer version.  However, recent versions (at least since 2.18) have a  
very annoying configure script.  It tests for "working lineno" which  
bash, zsh, and netbsd's sh have.  Our sh (ash) does not do several  
things that configure expects now.  (recent autotools generate this)

While this is just one port, I think we'll get into trouble here.    
I've updated our sh in CURRENT and would appreciate testing.  I think  
we should commit this before 0.2-RELEASE to save us some headaches.

Here's the error on the old port:  http://www.midnightbsd.org/magus/ports/167378

Also, I think we need to look at what is needed to get WINE and  
Firefox updated in ports.  (1.0 and 3.0 respectively)  It would have  
to be native firefox and I'm thinking a new port is in order.   
(unbranded at that)   I think WINE just needs a few patches to get  
working (in src)
