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.

Long description:

First some background.  When you hand a file to cups it sets up a chain of
filter programs that converts the file to something a printer understands.
Each filter has a cost associated with it and cups tries to find the
cheapest chain.  Costs used to be configured in such a way that files were
first converted to PostScript.  This could then be manipulated further (e.g.
putting multiple pages on one sheet) before finally being sent to a
PostScript printer or another filter like pstoraster which produces a raster
format understood by non-PostScript printer drivers.  Nowadays most filters

japanese/font-std, chinese/font-std, and dependency fixups due
to it have been added.  These are to install standard fonts used in the
Ports Collection.  Currently they contain:

 std.ja_JP/Mincho
 std.ja_JP/Gothic
 std.ja_JP/Ryumin-Light
 std.ja_JP/GothicBBB-Medium
 std.zh_CN/STHeiti-Regular
 std.zh_CN/STSong-Light
 std.zh_CN/MSung-Light
 std.zh_CN/MHei-Medium

under ${PREFIX}/share/fonts/.  They are just symlinks to
corresponding font files.  The symlink names are based on popular
PostScript font names.

Applications should refer the font files via XLFD or fontconfig
first.  If they need a direct reference to the font file, please use
files in std.*/*.  This is because direct reference to a specific
font name in an application configuration file makes the maintenance
difficult when the font file name is changed, for example.

Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script.
Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the
configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET
instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning
and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases.

To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable
so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix.

To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have
configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection
in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.

Changes to Mk/*:
 - Add runtime detection magic in bsd.port.mk

New port: print/cups-pstoraster, a very limited version of easy software's

you are a target user, test this! Thanks to KATO for the skeleton of the port
itself.
