Pkgsrc changes:
  - Fix of PR pkg/29201: Applied optional GeoIP patch proposed in the PR
    (option geoip).
  - Converted the post-build target to the "subst" framework.
  - Removed an unnecessary CONFIGURE_ENV (setting a variable internal to
    autoconf).
  - We install now some documentation files.

Description of GeoIP patch:
===========================
By default, Webalizer uses DNS suffix to guess country and produce geographic
stats. Some WWW hostings (mostly free ones) has reverse DNS feature disabled,
so there's no DNS, and consequently no geographic stats. Well, Webalizer *has*
internal Reverse DNS feature (aka "Webazolver"). But it's too slow, even
running 100 threads. So, is there any other way? Sure! It's GeoIP library!

GeoIP is a C library that enables the user to find the country that any
IP address or hostname originates from.  It uses a file based database
that is accurate as of March 2002.  This database simply contains IP blocks
as keys, and countries as values.  This database should be more complete and
accurate than using reverse DNS lookups.
