Attached is an updated tarball.
Changes/Fixes:
* Use ${SETENV} in the pre-configure routine.
* Improve pkg/DESCR
* Remove a hardcoded -O3
* Set CONFIGURE_ARGS so that things like -march=native don't happen
* The library identifies itself as libb2-0.98, so rename package to
libb2-0.98.20171225 to avoid future EPOCH bumps.
