- Move the symlink magic for the default python version into lang/python
and lang/python2 and lang/python3. This change brings us closer to the goal of making Python ports usable with different Python versions at the same time. - Add a new lang/python2 port to handle the symlinks for bin/python2, bin/idle2, bin/pydoc2 and so on. - Add a new lang/python3 port to handle the symlinks for bin/python3, bin/idle3, bin/pydoc3 and so on. - Bump the PORTREVISION on all lang/python* ports.

+ The lang/python* ports do not install links to 2to3, idle, pydoc, python
+ and other binaries anymore. Those were moved into the lang/python2 and
+ lang/python3 ports respectively. This change brings us closer to the goal
+ of making Python ports usable with different Python versions at the same
+ time.
+
+ If you have lang/python2* or lang/python3* installed, please also install
+ the associated lang/python2 or lang/python3 port.
+
+ 1. update lang/python2* and/or lang/python3*
+ 2. install lang/python2 and/or lang/python3
+ 3. reinstall lang/python (if installed)
