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.

sysutils/gksu and sysutils/libgksu: Fix gksudo not running command

This fixes an issue where gksudo would successfully authenticate
the user, but fail to run the requested command. This was caused by
gksudo forking a new PTY, meaning that different TTY was used for the
"sudo -v" command and subsequent "sudo -n ..." command. Whilst this used
to work, newer versions of sudo used per TTY authentication caching.
Patch taken from Arch Linux: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libgksu/

Also fixed:
- Made Nautilus plugin optional, so gksu can be installed without GNOME
- Added license details, pet portlint
- Tidied patches: move path fixes into port Makefile

USES+= gettext-tools on 6 ports

These ports require msgfmt.  FreeBSD doesn't fail to build these ports
because a default option on gvfs brings in this tool.  The same gvfs
option is off by default on DragonFly and thus the missing dependencies
were unmasked.  Explicitly add gettext-tools to get msgfmt.

Presenting GNOME 2.20.1 and all related works for FreeBSD.  The official
GNOME 2.20 release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ .  Beyond that, this update
includes the new GIMP 2.4 (courtesy of ahze).

The GNOME 2.20 update also includes a huge change in the FreeBSD GNOME
hierarchy.  We are now using the more standard DATADIR of ${PREFIX}/share
rather than ${PREFIX}/share/gnome. The result is that fewer patches and
hacks are needed to port GNOME components to FreeBSD.  This will mean some
user changes may be required, so be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for
more details.

This release and the things we accomplished in it would not have been
possible without mezz's crazy idea to collapse DATADIR, and his persistence
to make it happen successfully.  Ahze and pav also deserve thanks for

Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order.  The code present
in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.

Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.

Preliminary documentation can be found at:
        http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt

which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.
