icecat 38.3.0 ebuild

Hi!

Please find attached icecat-38.3.0 ebuild.  Most of the layout is taken from the firefox-38.2.0 ebuild and its corresponding eclasses.  The language packs have been left out for the time being, but language packs are available over at https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/38.3.0/langpacks .  The following patches go along with it:
2000_icecat_gentoo-install-dirs.patch
7003_icecat_freebsd-jscpucfg.patch
8010_icecat_bug114311-freetype26.patch
5002_icecat_application-handlers.patch
7004_icecat_freebsd-libexecinfo-v3.patch
6001_icecat_alpha-defines.patch
8001_icecat_hppa-js-configure.patch
7000_icecat_drop-Wl-build-id-v4.patch
8003_icecat_gmp-clearkey-sprintf.patch


GNUzilla is the GNU version of the Mozilla suite, and GNU IceCat is the GNU version of the Firefox browser. Its main advantage is an ethical one: it is entirely free software. While the Firefox source code from the Mozilla project is free software, they distribute and recommend non-free software as plug-ins and addons. Also their trademark license restricts distribution in several ways incompatible with freedom 0.
Privacy protection features

    LibreJS: GNU LibreJS aims to address the JavaScript problem described in Richard Stallman's article The JavaScript Trap.
    Https-Everywhere: Extension that encrypts your communications with many major websites, making your browsing more secure.
    SpyBlock: Blocks privacy trackers while in normal browsing mode, and all third party requests when in private browsing mode. Based on Adblock Plus.
    AboutIceCat: Adds a custom "about:icecat" homepage with links to information about the free software and privacy features in IceCat, and checkboxes to enable and disable the ones more prone to break websites.
    Fingerprinting countermeasures: Fingerprinting is a series of techniques allowing to uniquely identify a browser based on specific characterisics of that particular instance (like what fonts are available in that machine). Unlike cookies the user cannot opt-out of being tracked this way, so the browser has to avoid giving away that kind of hints.
