>Description:

Two new categories are proposed:

- local, for installations that want to integrate local additions
  to the ports tree. They can have the line
  CATEGORIES=	local
  in the ports Makefile, clearly marking them as such without conflicting
  with the checks in bsd.port.mk. Furthermore they are integrated in a
  local `make index' or other tools working on the whole ports tree.
  The following conditions must be true for local ports to be recognized:

  * ${PORTSDIR}/local/Makefile must exists, and have the local ports
    listed in SUBDIR
  * NO_LOCAL_PORTS must not be defined

  This change should have effect for systems where the directory
  ${PORTSDIR}/local doesn't exist or when NO_LOCAL_PORTS is defined

- rookies, for port candidates managed in an external CVS directory. This
  should be a collective effort to help people gaining experience in creating
  and maintaining FreeBSD ports without being obliged to the high standards of
  the ports collection. It may also be a great place to test experimental ports
  until they stabilize.

  The idea is shamelessly stolen from Thomas Klausner's pkgsrc-wip, see
    http://pkgsrc-wip.sourceforge.net/
  The rookies directory should contain a snapshot of the sourceforge CVS, like
    http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pkgsrc-wip/wip/
  The sourceforge registration for project portrookies is submitted and
  awaiting approval.

This should have no impact on the existing FreeBSD ports tree, especially both
categories are not valid when the respective subtrees do not exist.
