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) combination for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Turn
IGNORE= "foo now contained in the base system"
into
IGNORE= "is now contained in the base system"
since the code which prints this string prefices it with the package
name.

Update misc/bsdiff to version 4.3, to match the version in the src
tree.
This only affects users of FreeBSD 5.4 and earlier, since the port is
IGNOREd for recent versions of the FreeBSD base system.

Both bsdiff and portsnap have been added to the base system in
FreeBSD 5-STABLE and 6-STABLE.  Add conditional IGNORE lines to
reflect this.

This is a pair of tools for creating and applying very compact patches to
binary files (especially executable files).
It will be used by the next version of the security/freebsd-update port.
