I added most of the ports from the haskell category, so my small
script watches 30 hackage ports at the moment.  Some comments:

- the following ports are omitted:
  - devel/haddock-docs port is not added as it is coupled with its hackage port.
  - is graphics/hs-HGL-ghc the same as graphics/hs-hgl?
  - watching devel/hs-drift is not supported yet (too tricky for the script).
  - x11-toolkits/hs-frantk is not on hackage.
  - x11-toolkits/hs-gtk2hs is not on hackage.
  - devel/hs-hat is not on hackage and it will be deleted anyway.
  - devel/hs-hpl is not on hackage and it will be deleted anyway.
  - devel/hs-hdoc is not on hackage.
  - devel/hs-hmake is not on hackage.
  - devel/hs-hscolour-docs port is not added as it is coupled with its
hackage port.
  - devel/hs-hdoc is not on hackage.
  - ports for compilers/interpreters (ghc, hugs, ohugs, nhc98).
  - devel/asdlgen (not a real haskell package).

- the script will only send mail if there is any port to be updated.
- maintainers are added in parenthesis.
- no CCing for now, sending output directly to this list.
- the script runs from freefall weekly (every Sunday 0:00 UTC).
