Freecode no longer being updated; new default livecheck needed (was: Re: [121450] trunk/base/portmgr/ReleaseProcess)

[Ryan Schmidt]

I learned from Joshua's commit in r121450 that the freecode web site is no longer being updated. This is confirmed here:

http://freecode.com/about

freecode is the default livecheck for MacPorts, so we will need to find a new default livecheck, or perhaps even disable livecheck by default if we cannot find an alternative. Suggestions welcome.
