Update <graphics/gimp-help> issue

[RyōTa SimaMoto]

Hi,

I'm new to this list.

I'm a member of the GIMP Help Documentation Team.
On early October of last year, we released the new version
product gimp-help-2.6.0-html, so I edited its port(s).

Since this version, we had been providing packages in
ready-to-install packages separated in translated languages.
Source tarball doesn't exist. On the contrary,
Older version was a source tree of XML files.

I wrote new ports in two approach for construction:
1. Update only on the graphics/gimp-help. User can select
languages by the option function. It is simple, but this way
causes its package file to become very bigger than the older
version if all languages are included because shared image
files are also copied in different paths of each language.
about 347MB.
2. Separate the port by languages. In this way, 13 new ports
will be added. <graphics/gimp-help> will be changed to the
meta-port, <misc/gimp-help-en> as the main port, and other
ports as its slaves.

Which style is more preferable? Or you have another ways?

In the second approach, I don't know how to create 'diff'
file for updating these port. The first one is ready to send-pr.
