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:
sysconftool is a development utility that helps to install application configuration files. sysconftool allows an existing application to be upgraded without losing the older version's configuration settings. sysconftool is a script that is used by applications to update configuration files when a new version of the application is installed. sysconftool reads the new application configuration files, reads any older versions of those files that are already installed, then replaces the old versions with the new ones, but preserving any custom changes contained in the old versions. For more information on sysconftool, and why applications need it, see the installed manual pages: sysconftool(1) and sysconftool(7). With most versions of the man command: "man 1 sysconftool" and "man 7 sysconftool".

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles

It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.

Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.

There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order.  The code present
in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.

Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.

Preliminary documentation can be found at:
        http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt

which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.

Light blue touch-paper.  Run.

This port doesn't include a copy of config.{guess,sub}, but they're
required by autoconf.  Copy them into place from the Templates/ directory.
This fixes the build on amd64

Replace all known incantations of WANT_{AUTOMAKE,AUTOCONF,LIBTOOL}* with
the USE_<x> equivalents.  In the current scheme of things, the WANT_
variables in this case are synonymous with the USE_ ones, and thus need
to be exterminated.

First in a series of major autotools cleanups.

Believe it or not, but this port was entangled in between a discussion
in ports/55750, which is an update for mail/courier.

        This patch also include the update of sysconftool to 0.14.

Fix to use autoconf the right way. Do NOT put *_DEPENDS entries for autoconf.
It's not gonna work anymore, folks! READ bsd.port.mk comments.
