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:
0.99.4 release of ``The Macro Implementation of SNOBOL4 in C'' This is a free port of the original SIL (SNOBOL4 Implementation Language) macro version of SNOBOL4 (developed at Bell Labs) with the C language as target, http://www.snobol4.com/snobol4-0.99.4.tar.gz. SNOBOL4, while known primarily as a string language excels at any task involving symbolic manipulations. It provides run time typing, garbage collection, user data types, on the fly compilation. Its primary weakness is its simple syntax, and lack of "structured programming" constructs. However some consider the spareness of SNOBOL4 syntax a strength when compared to some "modern" agglomerations such as perl.

Go ahead and set an expiration date on this one; it doesn't work on gcc4,
and is already marked as deprecated.

Quiet that last niggling warning in the install process.  It was
never a problem, but often fooled pointyhat into thinking it was.

Eliminate warnings from function prototype mismatches.  Include
stdlib.h and strings.h where needed to get system/compiler definitions
of malloc, bcopy, and bzero instead of relying on 20-year-old wrong
definitions in the code.  The snobol interpreter itself is chock full
of pointer to int type punning and is likely to fail in hard-to-debug
ways on non-VAX-like architectures.

Fix these files so they actually talk about snobol4, rather than   GNU awk.
