sysutils/fusefs-ntfs: actualize pkg-message.in and README.FreeBSD

Browse source 
- Mention the necessity of fusefs(5) support in the kernel and
  how to enable it at the system startup time
- Remove outdated URLs and references from the FreeBSD-specific
  README file; drop the ``Reporting bugs'' section completely as
  most of it does not reflect modern reality or is simply banal

1. Introduction
==============================================================================
The NTFS-3G project provides a read/write filesystem driver for NTFS. It uses
the FUSE library (a OS independent library to create filesystem drivers), more
precisely FUSE's library with fuse4bsd's kernel module (port of the kernel
dependent part of FUSE). For more information see:
the FUSE library (an OS-independent library to create filesystem drivers) and
FreeBSD fusefs(5) kernel module (port of the kernel-dependent part of FUSE).
For more information see:

To mount at startup you need to have the following line in /boot/loader.conf:
fuse_load="YES"
fusefs_load="YES"
or have "fusefs" added to the "kld_list" in the /etc/rc.conf.
Then create the following symlink:

kernel implementation in Linux and FreeBSD, and is being worked on. An example
scenario would be playing a song in XMMS, while building many ports, which
could cause XMMS skip the song. Another observed problem is the current
directory not being found, but entering again would work. The details are
described in fuse4bsd (sysutils/fusefs-kmod) documentation (Linux access is
path based while FreeBSD is vnode based, which may be reused).

6. Reporting bugs
==============================================================================
About the port itself, you can ask the maintainer (preferable) and/or in the
ports@FreeBSD.org mailing list.
About general NTFS problems (corruptions, etc) ask in the NTFS-3G forum (see
below).
But often (even on Linux, 50% of the issues are related to these) the problems
reside on the FUSE implementation (the library itself, or fuse4bsd portion).
For reporting kernel panics, see:
http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/DebugFreeBSDPanicsHowto
And you can report them to the fuse4bsd author (preferable), or here:
NTFS-3G forum: http://forum.ntfs-3g.org/

NTFS-3G has been installed, for information, known issues and how to report
bugs see the FreeBSD README:
NTFS-3G has been installed. It requires fusefs(5) support to operate,
so issue the ``kldload fusefs'' command or ``sysrc kld_list+=fusefs''
to make it load automatically when the system starts.
