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:
A screen saver module which bounces a line around the screen. I originally submitted this as a kernel module, but after seeing George Reid's plasma-kmod port I realised that was a better way to do it. WWW: http://www.witchspace.com/kix.html

Convert to USES=kmod, which removes duplicated code and ensures that all
required steps are followed.

There are no user-visible changes.  The exception is multimedia/ptx-kmod,
which now installs the kernel module into /boot/modules instead of
${PREFIX}/libexec/${PORTNAME}, this was something USES=kmod cannot handle.

SSP support has been added to ports with WITH_SSP for i386 and amd64
on FreeBSD 10, and amd64 on earlier versions.

SSP_UNSAFE is added to disable in a port if it fails to build, but
this should only be used in rare circumstances such as kernel modules.
Otherwise, the port may just be failing due to lack of respecting
LDFLAGS.

On FreeBSD 10, this uses an ldscript in /usr/lib/libc.so to pull in
libssp_nonshared.a to address issues linking on i386 [1].

On earlier FreeBSD versions the WITH_SSP knob will add -lssp_nonshared
to LDFLAGS on i386. This is not needed on amd64. However, several hundred
ports do not currently respect LDFLAGS, so this support is disabled currently
as it causes build failures if a dependency is looking for the stack_chk

The vast majority of pkg-descr files had the following format when they
had both lines:

Author: ...
WWW: ....

So standardize on that, and move them to the end of the file when necessary.

Also fix some more whitespace, and remove more "signature tags" of varying
forms, like -- name, etc.

s/AUTHOR/Author/

A few other various formatting issues

Use the $SRC_BASE Makevar instead of hard-coding.  There is no longer
any need to provide the default definition; it is in bsd.port.mk.

Since this module doesn't compile cleaning with the warnings it has
requested, pass down WERROR= to keep the build from failing.

Also, since the build system passes SYSDIR for non-standard kernel
source locations, honor that variable when insisting that the kernel
source be available.

Substitute BROKEN with IGNORE in cases where the port requires the src tree
to be present, or does not compile on certain versions of FreeBSD.  This
will potentially avoid needless compilations on bento, and has the added
benefit of improving certain reporting tools.  To most users, this change
is a no-op.

undo yesterdays changes:

    > I'm a bit confused here - where am I using the -fpic flag?

    It comes from kmod.mk, I think.  Anyway, it turns out this is
    a bug in kmod.mk and kernel modules are not yet implemented on
    amd64.  The previous change should be backed out - sorry for
    the misleading suggestion.
