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:
Mnews, Mini News Reader, is a small size news reader to handle news and electronic mail messages. Goals of mnews' development are small size, fast operation and easy to use interface. As far as the size is concerned, both the program itself and the memory usage are much smaller than those of emacs+gnus or vin. We believe the speed of the program is also one of the fastest among other news readers. (Though, we added various functions and they are making the program a bit slower.) Most effort was put on making mnews easy to operate. Most of the message from the program is in Japanese, the operation is easy to learn for both former gnus users and former vin users (basically, it's Gnus compatible), and discarded multi-keystroke operations. MH, UCB mail and rmail style e-mail files can be handled with mnews. Optionally, you can build a electronic bulletin board system. (FreeBSD's package does not include the support for this function by default, so you need to rebuild mnews using the files in the port collection if you wish to use the feature.) Also, MIME encoded headers using ISO-2022-JP can be handled. - Masafumi

Change PKGDIR from pkg/ to .  Also fix places where ${PKGDIR} is   spelled out
(many of which are ${PKGDIR}/MESSAGE -> ${PKGMESSAGE} type   fixes that
shouldn't have been necessary) and the string "/pkg/"   appear.
