New ports in -RELEASE

[Tim Hogan]

Ron,

I have run into a strange problem with ports and cvsup that you may be 
running into.  For some unknown reason I can run a cvsup and it appears 
that everything has run fine however I show that nothing needs to be 
updated.  Now here is the kicker;  If I delete the ports directory (or 
move it out of the way) and run the cvsup again, all of a sudden there 
are ten or more ports that need updating.  This has happened more than 
once.  I wish someone could explain that problem to me, especially since 
I never remember that happening on the 4.11 release.
