New squil ports

I'm the port maintainer for security/sguil-sensor, security/sguil-server 
and security/sguil-client.  These ports go together and need to be updated 
together.  At present, the version is 0.6.1.3.  The new ports will be 
version 0.7.0 and have some very significant changes from the previous 
version.

Also, I am the port maintainer of security/barnyard and the slave port 
security/barnyard-sguil6 port.

I have some questions about how to do this update.

Should I patch the existing ports?  If I do, the committer would need to 
commit all three ports simultaneously or someone might install mis-matched 
versions.

Should we rename the existing ports to sguil6-sensor -server and -client 
(or sguil-sensor6 - server6 -client6) and then install the new ones as new 
ports named as the present ones are?

Should we rename the barnyard slave port to barnyard-sguil?

I'm not sure what the best way is to proceed.

A gzipped tarball of the three new ports is attached in case anyone wants 
to test them.  Inside the tarball is gzipped tarballs of each of the three 
ports.  DO NOT untar them in /usr/ports/security or you will overwrite the 
existing ports (which will then be overwritten in turn by your next 
c(v)sup).
