Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

FInally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combinatio for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

. Allow installation on more recent versions of FreeBSD.  Although it is
  in the base system, this version may contain newer features.  It doesn't
  conflict with the base system version as it installs as 'bsdtar' rather
  than 'tar'.

. Add long option support on FreeBSD 4.x and early FreeBSD 5.x by setting
  USE_GETOPT_LONG.  This achieves the submitters goal, but via a different
  method.
