Importing jails from 7.0, 7.2 to 8.0.

[Jose Amengual]

The problem that I had was that if I don't install compat7x I will not be able to use any software inside of my jail like bash, portupgrade, perl etc so you are force to install it and then upgrade all ports.

I as getting this errors :

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libcrypt.so.4: not found, required by "ruby18" etc and none of the services are running.

when I was running almost all the thirty party utilities or ports apps installed on the jail.
