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:
VMware tools support FreeBSD _guest_ OS running on VMware Workstation. Beware, this port is _not_ for FreeBSD _host_ OS. VMware tools for FreeBSD consist of vmware-toolbox which supports seamless operation between the Host and the Guest OS and dual-boot configulation files. However, we cannot install dual-boot configuration since it requires to modify /etc files. This ports will install vmware-toolbox to your computer. You may use 'vmware' driver for X server. Vmware-guestd is installed as a separate port, ports/emulators/vmware-guestd4, but this port install guestd automatically. This port assumes that a) users want only "must-have" binaries and b) guest OS runs on a certain architecture and never be changed. For those want full-feature of VMware Tools, use the installer bundled with VMware Tools instead. WWW: http://www.vmware.com/products/ws/

Packaging bugfix: we don't need ${X11BASE}/etc/rc.d/vmware-guestd{,.sh}

vmware-guestd{,.sh} script is just for vmware-guestd5 port, not vmware-tools5.
However, USE_RC_SUBR variable is defined for vmware-tools5, the script
is installed even if it is not needed.

Bump PORTREVISION to note this change.

Fix some errors, including:

- Build fix when WITH_VMWARE_GTK is set.
- Reorder pkg-plist so that @unexec vmware-guestd.sh successfully done.
- Create directories for server modules, since xserver may not be installed.

Even though this makes no "installed" content change, but bump
PORTREVISION since pkg-plist/pkg-plist.tools are changed.

Move /etc/vmware-tools/* files to vmware-tools5, since VMware Player

on poweron/resume.

Bump PORTREVISION for both vmware-tools5 and vmware-guestd5.

Add PORTREVISION line to vmware-tools5, so this port may have its own
revision number.  It may help to avoid unwanted version bump to
vmware-tools5 if vmware-guestd5 specific changes are happen to
vmware-guestd5/Makefile.

Since no content changes at this time, no bump.

Dear VMware Workstation users around the world, here is an upgrade of
VMware Workstation FreeBSD-guest related ports for VMware Workstation
5.5.0 build 18463.

New features are:

- Spell "VMware Workstation" appropriately.
        There are much VMware products, it would be the time that I have
        to spell VMware Workstation as VMware Workstation.
- Support FreeBSD/amd64 since 64-bit binaries are provided from VMware.
        I don't test any of 64-bit related portion, since I have no
        FreeBSD/amd64 machine.  If something trouble please email me.
- New variable "WITH_VMWARE_GTK" (emulators/vmware-tools5)
        Install gtk version of VMware Tools if defined
        (add more dependencies on other gtk-related ports)
