HEADS UP: Port versions going backwards

Dear maintainers,

For some time now the script that is supposed to monitor for port
version strings decreasing has not been functioning (it runs but
produces no output for some reason).  Unfortunately this has allowed
quite a few regressions to creep in.  These are the ones I detected;
the time interval listed is the narrowest date window found, during
which the version decrease occurred (as measured by pkg_version -t).

In most cases it should be clear why the version decreased by looking
at commits to the port within this time window, but sometimes it may
be necessary to look at other included files.  If you can't work out
how the decrease occurred, please let me know.  Many of these can be
repaired by increasing PORTREVISION, but others will require PORTEPOCH
bumps.

Thanks,
Kris

P.S. I will be rerunning this script regularly, so your expedient
response to this issue is appreciated :)
