I created freelibiberty ten years, or so, ago specifically to provide
GNU-style long option processing on FreeBSD for FreeGrep.  It was based
on the implementation of getopt_long(3) from NetBSD and included PD or
other BSD-licensed implementations of other functions in GNU LibIberty.

Exactly two ports depend on it:  textproc/freegrep and misc/freedialog.
 However, FreeBSD has had getopt_long(3) for some time and neither of
these ports needs freelibiberty.  So two PRs (147709 and 147710) remove
those dependencies.  As the library is not used by anything, I propose
removing it.
