Log Message:
Update from version 3.6nb2 to 4.0.1.

Pkgsrc changes:
 o New MASTER_SITE
 o Adjust PLIST
 o Remove no-longer-needed patches, since corresponding changes
   have been adopted upstream
 o BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS bumped to >=4.0, since a new shared library
   version is installed
 o Fixes security vulnerability, ref. below.

Dependent pkgsrc packages will have their revisions bumped shortly
due to the (possibly/probably) changed ABI.

    * ICU4C Security Fixes
      ICU4C 4.0 resolves the vulnerabilities CVE-2007-4770 and
      CVE-2007-4771 which were found in earlier versions of ICU.
      The standard ICU tests verify that these have been corrected,
      however, the updated versions of the previous tests may be
      run by applying the following patch to ICU 4.0: r24324. As
      well, ICU4C and ICU4J 4.0 resolve the issue underlying
      CVE-2008-1036.
