Kirill Ponomarev 4fcee63076 Update portsnap to version 0.9. This brings the following changes:
* SHA-256 has replaced SHA-1 as a hash function used for verifying
   integrity of the ports tree.
 * The RSA signature verification is now performed using OpenSSL
   rather than "borrowing" code from FreeBSD Update.
 * In addition to distributing the ports tree, portsnap now also
   produces up-to-date INDEX, INDEX-4, and INDEX-5 files.
 * When fetching a series of patches, portsnap now prints a simple
   progress indicator.

Before you can use portsnap, you will have to create an update configuration
file specifying the server from which to fetch snapshots and the sha256 hash
of the openssl public key which is trusted to sign the snapshots.
A sample configuration file has been installed in
%%PREFIX%%/etc/portsnap.conf.sample
which will fetch snapshots built and signed by the author. If you want to
use these updates, copy that file to
%%PREFIX%%/etc/portsnap.conf
otherwise, create that file as appropriate.
NOTE TO USERS UPGRADING FROM PORTSNAP 0.3.1 OR EARLIER: The structure
of the portsnap configuration file has changed; you will have to replace
your existing portsnap.conf with a new version.
