FreePOPs working again

http://freepops.sourceforge.net/

Adrenaline still pumping from Wii Sports. I patched up the port for FreePOPs in FreeBSD and got it working with the latest version so now I can download from Yahoo Mail (non-beta). I should've updated this sooner, the changes I did to the port disappeared with the next cvsup. Anyway I am going to see if I can recall. First thing I did was modify the Makefile to update the PORTVERSION to 0.0.99 then I copied the entries in the distinfo file to contain freepops-0.0.99.tar.gz rather than the old version. Once I ran make as expected it would've failed on the size and then md5, I used the md5 program to calculate the new MD5 value. I took out the SHA256 since it didn't seem to require it on FreeBSD 4.11. Once I ran it, I ran into problems with some missing .lua files. Basically just run freepopsd without any service. I found the files in /usr/ports/mail/freepops/work/freepops-0.0.99/modules/include and copied them over. You just need the ones in the directories, just copy the directories browser, lxp and soap including the directory over to /usr/local/share/freepops/lua.
