Hi ports@,


we have to talk about textproc/wkhtmltopdf. Upstream abandoned the
project in on Jan 2, 2023. The one an only consumer in your ports
tree is odoo16. But odoo needs wkhtmltopdf only as a runtime dependency
and it looks like there is a fallback:

"Unable to find Wkhtmltopdf on this system. The report will be shown in html."
https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/85f5cf17eb08dd6df62a5e87f5f91556ea802637/addons/web/i18n/af.po#L4732

However odoo -current still depends on wkhtmltopdf this days.
Enterprise like ;).

I would like to go the way of the other BSD/Linux distros and get
rid of the port because it is also a showstopper for libc++19.

OK?
