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:
Spectrwm (previously known as scrotwm) is a small dynamic tiling window manager for X11. It tries to stay out of the way so that valuable screen real estate can be used for much more important stuff. It has sane defaults and does not require one to learn a language to do any configuration. It was written by hackers for hackers and it strives to be small, compact and fast. It was largely inspired by xmonad and dwm. Both are fine products but suffer from things like: crazy-unportable-language-syndrome, silly defaults, asymmetrical window layout, "how hard can it be?" and good old NIH. Nevertheless dwm was a phenomenal resource and many good ideas and code was borrowed from it. On the other hand xmonad has great defaults, key bindings and xinerama support but is crippled by not being written in C.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles

It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.

Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.

There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Fix out of bounds memory read when reading bar input.

Add patch from upstream git that fixes an out of bounds read and possible

It is unclear if this can cause any security issues, but I feel it's prudent

Changelog:
    Add +R for region index to bar formatting.
    Add new bar_color_selected and bar_font_color_selected options.
    Add new 'ws_empty' action.
    Enable padding in the bar_format using '_' character
    Handle MappingNotify during startup.
    Reset SIGPIPE before execvp().
    Correct size for WM_STATE
    This release also fixes a bunch of bugs, linux build and man page nits.

FreeBSD specific changes:
    Thhe screenshot.sh script is now installed into the examples dir,
    instead of bin/.  If you are using it, you need to update your
    configuration file.
    I've reworked the examples handling and hid all examoles behind the
    EXAMPLES knob (on by default).  This is mostly some example
    configurations, but I also added the baraction.sh script which can be
    used to do fancier stuff with the status bar.

NEW XORG ON FREEBSD 9-STABLE AND 10-STABLE

This update switches over to use the new xorg stack by default on FreeBSD 9
and 10 stable, on osversions where vt(9) is available.
It is still possible to use the old stack by specifying WITHOUT_NEW_XORG in
/etc/make.conf .
FreeBSD 8-STABLE and released versions of FreeBSD still use
the old version.
A package repository with binary packages for new xorg will
be available soon.

This patch also contains updates of libxcb and related ports, pixman, as well
