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.

Fix the build of xorg related ports when the base system is compiled with
clang as system compiler and cpp is clang cpp (as opposed to GNU cpp).
This is done by removing the configure test for cpp completely.  Using
clang cpp will make some manual pages as well as some scripts get slightly
wierd whitespace formatting.  However, it does not affect the function of
the scripts or the instructions in the manual pages.

- Please welcome Xorg 7.5.2

       The Xorg Team is pleased to announce the next round of Xorg updates.
       The team created a new flag called WITH_NEW_XORG that users can include
       in /etc/make.conf. This was created for the intel KMS work being done
       althouthough It probably works for other chips. Unfortunately, the intel
       KMS driver will only work on FreeBSD 9(RELENG|STABLE) or 10/HEAD users.
       Older version of FreeBSD will not be supported. Intel users will need
       to patch their source manually with Konstantin?s KMS kernel patch to get
       the newer chips to work. Please carefully read UPDATING entry.

Changes:

        - libdrm 2.4.31 (including KMS support)
        - mesa 7.11.2
        - xorg-server 1.10.6
        - a lot of new Graphic Drivers.

    I would like to thank:

         Koop Mast
         Eitan Adler
         Niclas Zeising
         and all helpers and testers from x11@.

The X-Server has been patched to the latest 1.7.X series, drivers

some components from Xorg 7.6 with a lot of improvements, and it seems
that the performance is much better than the old version. Also this
Update fix build issues with clang and binutils 2.17.50 in current,
remove 6.X gruft and de-author pkg-descr.
