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.

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

Split devel/gettext in devel/gettext-runtime and devel/gettext-tools.  The
first contains runtime libraries such as libintl and the latter contains
developer tools such as msgfmt.  Ports that use gettext will usually need
a LIB_DEPENDS on gettext-runtime and a BUILD_DEPENDS on gettext-tools.

USES=gettext-runtime can be used to set a LIB/BUILD/RUN_DEPENDS on
devel/gettext-runtime and USES=gettext-tools can be used to set a
BUILD/RUN_DEPENDS on devel/gettext-tools.  USES=gettext is now the same
as "USES=gettext-runtime gettext-tools" meaning a LIB_DEPENDS on
devel/gettext-runtime and a BUILD_DEPENDS on devel/gettext-tools.

Update gettext to 0.19.3.

Remove :oldver from converters/libiconv and devel/gettext-runtime.  Leave
symlinks with the old library versions to avoid the need to bump
PORTREVISION on a large number of dependent ports.  When most of the
dependent ports have had normal version updates, PORTREVISION can be
bumped on the remaining ones (low number) and the links can be removed.

Fix some ports that installed files in lib/locale instead of share/locale.

The FreeBSD GNOME team proudly presents GNOME 3.14 and Cinnamon 2.2.
Gnome 3.14.1 and Cinnamon 2.2.16 are supported on FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE and up.

This commit removes the old GNOME 2 desktop, bindings and some ports that
can't be compiled. A few ports where updated to more recent versions to
allow them to compile with this update.

Apart from updating ports to newer versions

GDM is more integrated with gnome-shell now, and handles several things for
the GNOME desktop such as screen locking. If you want to use GNOME 3 via
startx, you will have to add your own lock screen/screensaver. For example
xscreensaver
can be used for sessions started without GDM.

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.

Light blue touch-paper.  Run.
