The devel/shedskin port in shar format

Shed Skin is an experimental compiler, that can translate pure, but implicitly
statically typed Python (2.4-2.6) programs into optimized C++. It can generate
stand-alone programs or extension modules that can be imported and used in
larger Python programs.

Tested with using poudriere on FreeBSD 9.3 amd64 and native build on FreeBSD 10.2 amd64.

I tested the generation of stand-alone programs for some available examples. But found some issues for generation/compilation of extension modules. Nevertheless, I think, the shedskin program may be interesting for other people too. Possible to transfer the maintainer-ship of this port to python@ team, if they interested.
