Robert Clausecker 6e2da9672f filesystems: add new category for file systems and related utilities
The filesystems category houses file systems and file system utilities.
It is added mainly to turn the sysutils/fusefs-* pseudo-category into
a proper one, but is also useful for the sundry of other file systems
related ports found in the tree.

Ports that seem like they belong there are moved to the new category.
Two ports, sysutils/fusefs-funionfs and sysutils/fusefs-fusepak are
not moved as they currently don't fetch and don't have TIMESTAMP set
in their distinfo, but that is required to be able to push a rename
of the port by the pre-receive hook.

HFS is the "Hierarchical File System" used on modern Macintosh computers.
With this package, you can read and write Macintosh-formatted media such as
floppy disks, CD-ROMs, and SCSI hard disks on most Unix platforms. You can
also format raw media or file into an HFS volume.
This package contains a number of different tools:
- Several command-line programs (hmount, hls, hcopy, et al.)
- Tk-based front-end for browsing and copying files through a
variety of transfer modes (MacBinary, BinHex, text, etc.)
- Tcl package and interface for scriptable access to volumes
- C library for low-level access to volumes
Support for Apple's new Extended Format (HFS+) is currently not available.
