portupdate-scan simplifies dealing with /usr/ports/UPDATING when you have so
many ports installed that it is difficult to know which sections are relevant.

It reads /usr/ports/UPDATING, attempting for each block to determine whether
the affected ports are installed. It omits blocks that do not apply.
It handles wildcards and other special cases, however it cannot handle
all variants of phrases used on the APPLIES: line.
In uncertain cases, it errs on the side of reporting.

- Patch to ports-mgmt/portupdate-scan to deal with problems which have surfaced
recently, parsing the files /usr/ports/MOVED and /usr/ports/UPDATING. MOVED had
an extra blank line on the end for awhile, and the case of some of the UPDATING
lines have changed (e.g., Author: instead of AUTHOR:). This patch allows
portupdate-scan to tolerate these variances.
