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.

Description:
Super is a setuid-root program that offers: o restricted setuid-root access to executables, adjustable on a per-program and per-user basis; o a relatively secure environment for scripts, so that well-written scripts can be run as root (or some other uid/gid), without unduly compromising security. The design philosophy behind super is two-fold: (a) some users can be trusted when executing certain commands; (b) there are some commands, such as a script to mount CDROM's, which you'd like to be safely executable even by users who are NOT trusted. Although setuid-root scripts are insecure, a good setuid-root wrapper around a sensible non-setuid script can be hard to break, and super provides that wrapper so that even a non-trusted user can use the scripts.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles

Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles

It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.

Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.

There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

- Display a stage-qa warning when ports use PREFIX/var instead of /var
- Add --localstatedir=/var to _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS (like --mandir) but not
  when CONFIGURE_ARGS already sets it.  (GNU configure scripts set it to
  PREFIX/var when PREFIX != /usr.)
- Add --localstatedir="${PREFIX}/var" to CONFIGURE_ARGS in some ports so
  they aren't affected by this change (for now at least).  This commit is
  meant to ensure that new ports don't make the same mistake.

- games/acm: the configure script in this port is very old; instead of
  patching it more, just replace GNU_CONFIGURE with HAS_CONFIGURE.
- irc/charybdis: it already used /var but adding --localstatedir=/var
  changed the behaviour of the configure script; adjust the port to this.

According to the Porter's Handbook (5.12.2.3.) default options must be added to
OPTIONS_DEFINE. This policy has been implemented only recently that's why we
have many ports violating this policy.

This patch adds the default options specified in the Porter's Handbook to
OPTIONS_DEFINE where they are being used. Ports maintained by
gnome@FreeBSD.org, kde@FreeBSD.org and x11@FreeBSD.org have been excluded.
