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) combination for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Description:
The pkg-config program is used to retrieve information about installed libraries in the system. It is typically used to compile and link against one or more libraries. It's more useful to the compilation process than to the end-user. pkg-config retrieves information about packages from special metadata files. These files are named after the package, with the extension .pc. By default, pkg-config looks for these files in the following directories: ${PREFIX}/libdata/pkgconfig, ${PREFIX}/lib/pkgconfig, ${LOCALBASE}/libdata/pkgconfig, ${LOCALBASE}/lib/pkgconfig, ${X11BASE}/libdata/pkgconfig, and ${X11BASE}/lib/pkgconfig; it will also look in the list of directories specified by the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.

devel/pkgconfig -> devel/pkg-config

Rename this ports to use the real vendor package name. The advantage of this
is to allow our users' keyword search works and easier for users to file the
Bugzilla report when they use our name of ports. Debian, Gentoo, NetBSD and
other OSs have the correct package name, but not in our ports tree.

My team, FreeBSD GNOME Team, have agreed with it.

As for other ports, chase the rename.

Teach pkg-config to look in the default lib/pkgconfig subdirectories along
with the FreeBSD-specific, hier(7)-friendly libdata/pkgconfig subdirectories.
This is being done to be developer-friendly.  A port SHOULD NEVER install
a pkg-config (.pc) file to a lib/pkgconfig subdirectory.

Presenting GNOME 2.12 for FreeBSD.  The release is chock full of bug fixes
and new features.  Don't believe me?  Then see for yourself at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.12/notes/en/.

DO NOT USE portupgrade by itself to upgrade to GNOME 2.12.  Instead, use
the gnome_upgrade.sh script from
http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/gnome_upgrade212.sh.  This script will
circumvent some potential pitfalls users can see if they use portupgrade
by itself.

In keeping with tradition, GNOME 2.12 for FreeBSD comes with a special
splash screen.  The winner of this release's contest is
Dominique Goncalves <dominique.goncalves@gmail.com>.  His splash screen
was inspired by http://art.gnome.org/contests/2.12-splash/83.

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.

Disable pthread support in pkgconfig.  pkgconfig doesn't use any

this does allow pkgconfig to build on Sparc64 which is a pre-req for

On -stable anyway, there is a problem getting "other" libs and cflags from
dependency packages (for example, from gthread-2.0).  This prevents ports
like ORbit2 from compiling.  It seems to be a pretty serious oversight on the
pkgconfig folks, so I'm going to submit this patch to them.

Basically, this patch adds recursive scanning capabilities to the
other_cflags and other_libs functions.
