To work, I think it would have to lowercase both the livecheck.name and 
the corresponding text to be matched in the rss entry.  Not sure that is
what this does. 

On the other hand, it can be fixed in the Portfile by just setting the 
livecheck.name to the same casing as is used in the freshmeat rss entry.

So these work:

livecheck.name GIMP
livecheck.name XVid
livecheck.name XSane

But it would be more elegant if it could be done automatically.
