Bugzilla Bug 9845

StuffIt is another file archiving program, along the lines of tar/gz or Zip.  I
believe that historically this has been a Macintosh program, but currently there
are versions for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Solaris.  It understands a wide range
of compression types (evidentally) including tar/gz, tar/bz2, zip.  It also
understands (unsurprisingly) the "StuffIt" format that is often used on Macs, so
we can decompress those files on our Linux boxes.

You can download the binary-only Linux version from their homepage at
http://stuffit.com/, and if you select the "Evaluation" version, you get a tgz
file that contains the binaries "stuff," "unstuff," and "register."  unstuff is
evidentally freeware, while the "stuff" program must be registered within 15
days.  You can use the "register" program to do so.  I haven't tried to see if
there's actually a 15-day limit, or if it's an honor-system thing.  Really, all
I cared about was the "unstuff" executable.

The ebuild puts the two program binaries into /opt/stuffit/bin, and the register
binary into /opt/stuffit/extra (so that it won't be in the $PATH - I felt that
with a name like "register" it might cause conflicts).  It's mostly
straightforward.  It'll also add the correct entries in /etc/env.d/10stuffit so
that stuff and unstuff are available in the default path.

One other snag is that it seems this package uses a LICENSE that is different
from any of the ones in /usr/portage/licenses.  So I'll attach that, too, as
"Aladdin-Stuffit".  There's already a License named "Aladdin," which doesn't
have anything to do with this one.

Here's the main StuffIt ebuild.

This is the license that StuffIt uses.

thanks for the ebuild. commited in CVS.
