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.

devel/autoconf*: restructure to prepare for 2.71

- Rename autoconf 2.13 port directory, package, and command all to
  autoconf2.13 just like ports like perl and python.
- Let USES=autoreconf run gtkdocize if necessary.
- Rewrite autoconf-wrapper and rename it autoconf-switch to reflect
  better what it does.
- Delete patch-bison.  It has been reverted upstream.
- Add a patch to let autoreconf set the AUTOCONF environment variable
  so subprocesses like automake use the correct version.
- Make building of info files optional.
- Address portlint, portclippy, portfmt issues in devel/autoconf*.

- Update devel/automake to 1.15
- Update devel/gettext to 0.19.4
- Update devel/libtool and devel/libltdl to 2.4.5
- This version of libtool has been fixed to pass -fstack-protector to the
  compiler during linking.  Add the same fix to USES=libtool.  This should
  improve SSP support on FreeBSD/i386 8 and 9.
- databases/libmemcached, security/sssd: patch configure.ac so
  AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR appears earlier.
  For databases/libmemcached changing configure.ac causes manpages to be
  regenerated which requires extra dependencies so patch a makefile to
  prevent that.
- devel/xfce4-dev-tools: only depend on recent versions of autoconf and
  automake

Reassign the autotools-related ports to a new mailing list,
autotools@FreeBSD.org.  This is for individuals willing to put in
the hard work to generate patches and work with portmgr as we put
them through -exp runs and work through port breakage that they
create.  (A huge number of ports depend on these, so -exp runs are
required.)

Thanks to aDe@ for all the thankless work he's done over the years
to tame these beasts.
