- Radical changes to the cache: now stores a record for every
file that could affect the generated INDEX, which ports
those files belong to and the timestamp of the file.
- Default update mechanism is now to compare timestamps with
what is in the cache. Doesn't need to parse the output of
any update mechanism (although you can still do that.)
- Added new make-readmes command to create a tree of README.html
files.

portdepends, plus some routine bug fixing.
- Accessor methods for array valued items now mostly return
arrays rather than array references. This makes quite a
lot of code a lot clearer.
- Add GraphViz output mode to portdepends(1). Pretty
pictures of port dependency trees.
- Remove TODO file as (a) most of the items were done and (b)
most recent changes weren't listed in there.
- Minor docco tweak to portindex reflecting currently
supported FreeBSD major versions.
- Bump VERSION to 2.6 and CACHE_VERSION to 2.5

This is a bug fix and general improvement release. From the change log:
- Incorporate local ports/categories into the INDEX by scanning Makefile.local
for additions to $SUBDIR. Mentioned on freebsd-ports@freebsd.org by
Rong-En Fan <rafan (at) infor.org>
- Clean up error messages, and factor out common progress counter code.
- Add a new Category object type, and cope better with changes to categories
(ie. ports being hooked up / unhooked from the tree). Problem pointed out by
Colin Percival <cperciva (at) freebsd.org>
- Instead of calling perl to compile exactly the same bit of perl code from
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.ports.mk about 15,000 times (ie once per port) as a
consequence of actually running 'make describe', just call perl once, use make
to print out the basic variables from the port and replicate the processing
done ourselves.
