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:
Electricsheep is a distributed screensaver. It realizes the collective dream of sleeping computers from all over the internet. When the screen-saver is activated, the screen goes black and an animated 'sheep' appears. Behind the scenes, the screen-saver contacts an internet server and joins the parallel computation of new sheep. WWW: http://www.electricsheep.org/

As advertised, remove the electricsheep port. The project has had
numerous "issues" over the last couple of years, and the most recent
incarnation has no source tarball available for download. Additionally,
the "Linux" version of the code is not currently maintained, and some
of the features do not work.

In xscreensaver 5.07 the xml files for optional screen savers have been
removed. In order to continue supporting those screen savers that we have
in the ports tree I'm adding enhanced versions of the 5.06 xml files to
the port. The xml file installed by this port is "bare bones," while the
one from xscreensaver 5.06 has more features, so remove the option to
intall the one from this port.

While I'm here, man pages are not PORTDOCS.

I'm making this change on a short maintainer timeout (6 days) because
the xscreensaver 5.07 update is blocking on this, and I haven't heard
anything from the maintainer of this port.

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.

Whoa there, boy, that's a mighty big commit y'all have there...

Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".

For ports-in-waiting:

        USE_LIBTOOL=YES         ->      USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
        USE_AUTOCONF=YES        ->      USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
        USE_AUTOMAKE=YES        ->      USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14

Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed.
