Changes:
bsdadminscripts-4.1 (February 2, 2008):
  - Some checks in buildflags.mk have been corrercted.
  - The portconfig script no longer uses portupgrade. It still tries to copy
    the port matching behaviour of portupgrade, so there should be no
    recognizable change apart from increased performance.

bsdadminscripts-4.0 (October 26, 2007):
  - The pkg_libchk script has been introduced.
  - The pkg_validate status message does not flicker any more.
  - The pkg_validate script now terminates after receiving ^C. 
  - The buildflags.mk file has been updated to handle the combination of
    ccache and distcc in a way that allows ccache to recognize compiler
    changes and not to mistake distcc changes for them.

bsdadminscripts-3.0 (June 17, 2007):
  - All manual pages have received small improvements.
  - The pkg_validate script has been added to the collection.
  - The buildflags.conf example has been updated.

bsdadminscripts-2.1.4 (June 9, 2007):
  - The rcstart script now executes rc_conf_files set in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
  - The portconfig script now omits the package database consistency checking
    of portupgrade.
  - The buildflags.mk magic now deals with ports that remember the number of
    threads from the configure stage, which can lead to a failed install.

bsdadminscripts-2.1.3 (May 2, 2007):
  - The buildflags.mk magic now works even if a buildflags.conf is not
    present.

bsdadminscripts-2.1.2 (September 13, 2006):
  - Portconfig now attempts to to act even if portupgrade returned an error.
  - SUBTHREADS now only works if install is not specified, due to many
    FreeBSD ports compiling, but not installing properly. This will not
    affect you when you use portupgrade or a similar tool to update your
    software.
  - Some corrections to the buildflags.conf(1) man page.
  - Some corrections to the buildflags.awk(1) man page.

bsdadminscripts-2.1.1 (August 3, 2006):
  - Some small fixes to the buildflags framework.

bsdadminscripts-2.1 (July 19, 2006):
  - The script buildflags.sh has been replaced with buildflags.awk.
    The new script is backwards compatible, but a lot faster, with
    cleaner code and has been rid of some limitations of the old script.
  - All the man pages have been moved to the man 1 category, because
    that seems to be the place where all other similar projects put them.
  - The buildflags.conf man page has become more complete.
  - The sample buildflags.conf has been replaced with a configuration that
    is really in use.

bsdadminscripts-2.0 (July 14, 2006):
  - The buildflags framework to control location dependant build flags
    has been introduced.
  - The --help flag of rcstart and portconfig has been castrated in favour
    of the new man pages.
  - The rcstart script now surpresses error messages caused by empty rc.d
    folders.

bsdadminscripts-1.1 (May 30, 2006):
  - The portconfig script has been rid of all 'grep -o' calls for FreeBSD 4.x
    compatibility.
  - The rcstart script has been rid of all 'grep -o' calls for FreeBSD 4.x
    compatibility.

bsdadminscripts-1.0 (May 14, 2006):
  - The rcstart script now treats service names as regular expressions and
    applies the command on all matching services.
  - The code in portconfig that parses the output of portupgrade has been
    rewritten to make it easier maintainable.

bsdadminscripts-0.9 (April 12, 2006):
  - Initial release, containing portconfig and rcstart.
