- Unbreak the build on PowerPC by using correct Fif_ENTRYPOINT() macro that
  does not append double underscore to symbol names in binaries (previously
  __FreeBSD__ check was removed from the condition, but __PPC__ was left)
- Rename the patch: not only it used now deprecated `+' as path separator,
  the patch name itself was just wrong (inconsistent with the patched file)
- Remove useless PKGMESSAGE assignment, bsd.port.mk does this automatically
- Improve `regression-test' target: add dependency on `build', and get rid
  of explicit cd'ing to ${BUILD_WRKSRC} by using -C switch of make(1)
- Fix some minor whitespace bugs and reorder the knobs to make more sense

I've removed BROKEN statement entirely (for all Tier-2 systems) while I've
only tested it on PowerPC: it pulls quite heavy GCC 4.8 for Fortran support
and I didn't want to stress our poor flame too much (This is a really slow,
old machine. Be gentle).  Since the bug was indeed PowerPC-specific, it is
probably OK (and worth trying anyway).

Common Data Format (CDF) is a conceptual data abstraction for storing
multi-dimensional data sets. The basic component of CDF is a software
programming interface that is a device independent view of the CDF data
model. The application developer is insulated from the actual physical
file format for reasons of conceptual simplicity, device independence,
and future expandability. CDF files created on any given platform can
be transported to any other platform on to which CDF is ported and used
with any CDF tools or layered applications.

A comparison between CDF, netCDF, HDF and HDF5 is available at
