sg3_utils, sdparm and smp_utils: new vesrions

These 3 packages, originally written for Linux, have ports
to FreeBSD. New versions of all three were released recently:
   - http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg3_utils.html [1.33]
     a package of utilities each of which sends a SCSI command
     and processes the response
   - http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sdparm.html [1.07]
     a utility for accessing SCSI mode page fields by name or
     position. Can also decode VPD pages and issue some SCSI
     commands
   - http://sg.danny.cz/sg/smp_utils.html [0.97]
     package of utilities each of which sends a SAS SMP function
     to a SAS device (typically a SAS expander) and processes
     the response. Requires FreeBSD 9.0 or later

Tarballs are provided in the "Download" section of the above
pages. They can be built with './configure ; make ; make install'.
[In some cases they may require './autogen.sh' to be called prior
to the above sequence.]

Both sg3_utils and sdparm have a "FreeBSD ports" entry but they
point to older versions and may need some tweaking to work
with the most recent package versions. This is not an area that
I am familiar with.
