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.

License: not specified in port
Description:
The portcheckout(1) reads the /usr/ports/INDEX file and checks-out a given port and its dependencies. This makes it easy to use the ports system without having a full and up-to-date /usr/ports tree. A typical use would be to connect to the Internet, possibly download a new INDEX and ports upgrade kit, download a port skeleton with portcheckout(1), and then build the port.

It turns out that perl 5.12 and later has a stronger strict rule and
refuse to run the script. The patch is pretty trivial, just adding 2
quotes around a word.

This patch is required for the upcoming FreeBSD 9 release.
