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:
Autoconf is an extensible package of m4 macros that produce shell scripts to automatically configure software source code packages. These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the operating system features that the package can use, in the form of m4 macro calls.

Set some DEPRECATED and EXPIRATION_DATE knobs to indicate overall intention
of the autotools project to remove all but the latest versions of
libtool, autoconf, and automake, by 31st December 2004.

Note that autoconf259 and automake18 aren't yet accessible through the
relevant USE_* knobs, but will be as soon as bsd.autotools.mk comes into
existence.

Correct ports that were abusing the FORBIDDEN variable and replace with
either IGNORE or BROKEN.

Since there seems to be some confusion, for the record:

BROKEN          is reserved for ports that don't work.  This will prevent
                users from installing the port, but please note that
                ports marked as BROKEN will still be built by bento
IGNORE          is reserved for ports that should not be built for one
                reason or another (including bento).  Users and bento
                will not build ports marked as IGNORE.
FORBIDDEN       is reserved for security breakages only!!!  Only mark a
                port as FORBIDDEN if there is a security issue with the
                port at the time.
