portaudit, vuxml & OVAL data

[Mark Foster]

I have a project idea regarding the extension of portaudit (which now
solely relies on the vuxml data from security/vuxml) to additionally
parse OVAL (CVE) data from the SCAP project.
http://nvd.nist.gov/scap.cfm
http://oval.mitre.org/

I see that they already have a schema definition for FreeBSD found here:
http://oval.mitre.org/language/download/schema/version5.5/index.html

I could see this turning into a oval2portaudit tool accompanied by a
modification of portaudit (if necessary) to accomodate
additional/disparate data sources.
