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:
Real (and Helix) browser plugins do little else, but start the separate "realplay" executable and talk to it. This port builds and installs this simple plugin part. The port allows to use native FreeBSD browsers with the realplay executable built for Linux (installed by multimedia/linux-realplayer). Although the multimedia/helixplayer port installs a modern version of the player, it lacks certain codecs, which Real/Helix are not allowed to (or would not) open-source. This port's "source" is extracted verbatim from the Helix-player's, which is much larger. Although tested primarily against firefox, it should build any other Mozilla-family browser's headers. Care is taken to NOT include browser headers typically bundled by Helix/Real...

Add a new framework for browser plugins, USE_WEBPLUGINS. It is for which foo
plugins support one of web browsers and can take care of plist (depend on how
you use it) at the same time. I have written a complete document and even show
how it works in the www/firefox/Makefile.webplugins so be sure to read in
there. If there is anything that isn't clear in the document, please feel free
to ask and I will try my best to improvement it.

FYI: GNOME 2.24 depends on this, so it's coming.

BTW: It's based on www/linux-mplayer-plugin/Makefile.npapi with heavy modified.

Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.

The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

Build the Helix/Real browser plugin as native FreeBSD shared library.
The pluging starts an external `realplay' executable anyway, so the
realplay can remain of Linux version, working cleanly with the FreeBSD
browsers.

Adobe is using the same method for Acrobat Reader, but does not publish
the plugin's source.
