This is a pair of tools for building (bsdiff) and applying (bspatch)
binary patches.  When applied to two versions of the same executable
the patches produced are significantly smaller than those generated
by other binary diff tools (eg, xdelta).

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.

Suggested by:   kris

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.
