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.

Description:
Bison is a tool used to write parsers, such as the parser for GNU cc. It is similar to Yacc, which is included in the base FreeBSD system. The main difference between Bison and Yacc that I know of is that Bison supports the @N construction, which gives you access to the starting and ending line number and character number associated with any of the symbols in the current rule. Also, Bison supports the command `%expect N' which says not to mention the conflicts if there are N shift/reduce conflicts and no reduce/reduce conflicts. The differences in the algorithms stem mainly from the horrible kludges that Johnson had to perpetrate to make Yacc fit in a PDP-11. Also, Bison uses a faster but less space-efficient encoding for the parse tables (see Corbett's PhD thesis from Berkeley, "Static Semantics in Compiler Error Recovery", June 1985, Report No. UCB/CSD 85/251), and more modern technique for generating the lookahead sets. (See "Efficient Construction of LALR(1) Lookahead Sets" by F. DeRemer and A. Pennello, in ACM TOPLS Vol 4 No 4, October 1982. Their technique is the standard one now.)

devel/bison1875's time has come and gone and its only consumer is the
databases/postgresql-devel port, which isn't needed either now that 8.1 has
officially landed.

A few more cleanups after recent events with bison

* lose the bison175 port, it's not needed for now and will
  only confuse matters
* clean up devel/Makefile, modules, and MOVED appropriately
* take maintainership of the bison* ports

When installing bison, create a symlink from bin/bison to bin/bison1875
that way ports that require bison1875 (ie: PostgreSQL 7.4+) can properly
detect this dependency.  Given both bison's have the appropriate CONFLICTS
sections, this should be a big enough hint to users to move from
bison < 1.875 to something more recent.  Bump port revision.

Add bison 1.875.  Some grammars require the new version of Bison (such as
PostgreSQL), however the new bison also breaks many many ports.  Compromise
with a new port.  Installs as bison and _not_ bison1875 and should be
mutually exclusive to the main bison port.  Hopefully the bison authors will
clean up their product and this port can disappear when the base bison port
is updated in the future or enough ports are updated to work with newer
versions of bison.
