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.

- Update firefox to 1.5
- Add Makefile.common
  o A new build/install system for gecko ports, Makefile.common
    includes many generic routines and common tasks.
  o Fix ld-run-path in all gecko's by using -Wl,-rpath,${moz_libdir}
    thus removing the need to have a startup script for ports that
    depend on gecko. [2]
  o Use system libm, nss, nspr in all gecko ports

- Add bsd.gecko.mk
  o This is the predecessor to WITH_MOZILLA=[mozilla|firefox|...]
    with a more robust way of detecting a gecko a end user wishs to
    use.
  o bsd.gecko.mk abstracts the selection of gecko-based backends. It
    allows users and porters to support any available gecko backend
    without needing to build many conditional tests. ${USE_GECKO} is the
    list of backends that your port can handle, and ${GECKO} is set by
    bsd.gecko.mk to be the chosen backend. Users set ${WITH_GECKO} to the
    list of gecko backends they want on their system.

  Port Makefile example:

  USE_GECKO=firefox mozilla seamonkey thunderbird
  .include <bsd.port.pre.mk>
  .include "${.CURDIR}/../../www/mozilla/bsd.gecko.mk"

  End user example:
  WITH_GECKO=seamonkey firefox

  We highly recommend moving away from using WITH_MOZILLA and switching to
  USE/WITH_GECKO.

- Make portlint happier.
- Add Java 5 plugins support. [1]
- Use system's libm (/usr/src/lib/msun), nss, nspr and etc. Also, do
  not extract those. Better explain, use external dependencies. [1]
- Teach firefox-config and *.pc files for nspr that will making other
  third apps to buildable like epiphany, vlc-devel's mozilla plugins
  and etc. Have been tested with full GNOME 2.11.x build too.
- Add four patches: [1]

        patch-bugzilla243151:
                https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=243151

        patch-xptcinvoke_x86_64_linux:
                Setting a possibly uninitialized variable (value).

- Fix a crash that can occur using gtk+-2.7 and possibly 2.6.10 when closing
  windows. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3002 [2]
- Get rid of FIREFOX and FF_VER, best to use PORTNAME and PORTVERSION
  varibles that are arleady exist and lesser complicate.
- Change all hardcore of 'firefox' to PORTNAME.
- Change a manual loop for patch all.js to find(1), so we can sleep
  on it.

Update freetype2 to 2.1.9, and patch Mozilla and friends accordingly.
Note: since 2.1.9 is ABI compatible with 2.1.7, no recompilation is
necessary.

Be sure to create the browser_plugins during package install as well.  Some
ports (e.g. www/ump) depend on this directory being there.

Instead of using Xvfb, and evil black magic to create the extensions
repository, use the hidden "-register" option instead.  This has the
advantage of not requiring an X DISPLAY and not modifying any
preferences.

Fix a typo in the pkg-install script, and add a hack so that firefox does not
need to be run as root before running it as other users.

Update to 0.9.  For a complete list of what's new, plus an important
list of Known Issues, see:

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/0.9.html

This update also includes a new pkg-install script based on ports/65590
from Thierry Thomas <thierry@pompo.net>.  However...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After installing Firefox, you must su - to root, and run ``firefox'' before
running it as any other user.  If you do not su - to root, you may lose some
of your user settings.  If you try to run Firefox as a normal user without
first running it as root, the browser will not show up.  This is a known issue
with Firefox, and they hope to address it in a future release.
