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:
vmware-guestd daemon is for time synchronization with host OS and others. Beware, this port is for FreeBSD _guest_ OS. You don't need to install this ports to FreeBSD _host_ OS. This ports also installs a kernel modules for FreeBSD guest. If you want to run FreeBSD as a VMware guest OS, install this port would help you. If you want to run X, install vmware-tools too. This port assumes that a) users want only "must-have" binaries and b) guest OS runs on a certain architecture and never be changed. For those want full-feature of VMware Tools, use the installer bundled with VMware Tools instead. WWW: http://www.vmware.com/products/ws/

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().

In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.

More fix on X modules.

The X server modules (display driver and mouse driver) bundled with
VMware Tools doesn't work with X.Org 7.2 server.  So install these
modules if and only if X is actually XFree86 4.x.

Also fix pkg-plist (sorry the last commit makes plist broken.)

Bump vmware-tools6 PORTREVISION to note the changes above.

For X.Org 7.2 users:
        x11-drivers/xf86-video-vmware is the video driver for VMs, that
        is installed by default.

        x11-drivers/xf86-input-vmmouse is the mouse driver for VMs.
        However, it doesn't need if vmware-toolbox runs.

Introducing VMware Tools for VMware Workstation 6 beta 3.

As usual, all three ports are updated after repocoping from
version 5 ports (this is why this ports is 'committed,' not 'imported.')

Note to 7-current users: vmware-guestd and other binaries requires
libc.so.6 to work.  Since there is no misc/compat6x yet, this ports
is marked as 'IGNORE' if there is no libc.so.6.
