remove dependency on cdrtools
emulators/virtualbox-ose depends on sysutils/cdrtools to install makeisofs.
We could replace this dependency with in-base makefs that is capable to make
ISO images but it is not needed too. Its configure script says:
# Check for mkisofs, needed to build the CDROM image containing the additions
In fact, VirtualBox build system does NOT use make use of makeisofs while
building for FreeBSD as it does not try to buid
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/FreeBSD%20build%20instructions says in its
Prerequisites section:
mkisofs (required only for additions which aren't supported yet)
=> /usr/ports/sysutils/cdrtools
So, we need just drop this unneeded dependency. It was introduced over 6 years
ago and was never really used:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/emulators/virtualbox-ose/Makefile?revision=274444&view=markup
The patch fixing this is attached.
