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/portupgrade: fix the problem that portupgrade sometimes runs slow, and
bump PORTVERSION to 20051204.

        (1) For years, I have experienced that portupgrade sometimes
        runs very slow.  After some investigation, I found that
        "pkgdb -aF" is invoked from portupgrade or other programs
        (such as portversion) without having sufficient privilege
        to modify /var/db/pkg/, and that error is not caught by the
        caller program, and "pkgdb -aF" is invoked repeatedlly.

        So, I fixed the following things:

        - When pkgdb internally invoked from other program exits
          with error, make the caller program also exit with error.

        - Display the error messages of pkgdb that run internally
          from other program.

        When portupgrade or other programs die with the following error,

            ** You do not own /var/db/pkg. (use -f to force or run as root)
            Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/local/sbin/pkgdb -aFQ

        please run "pkgdb -aF" as the user that owns /var/db/pkg (usually root).

        (2) Make new tarball that contains the above fix and all
        patches in files/.  Bump PORTVERSION to 20051204 and change
        MASTER_SITES.

- Unbreak handling of updated pkgdb.db so it is not regenerated for
  every run, which also makes portversion(1) works for non-root users
  again.  This is done by simply having the flag file in /var/db/
  (thanks to pav for the suggestion).
- While here anyway, fix some make warnings during install on FreeBSD 6.
