That's planned as an alternative fetch method. Travis won't keep any
data except full build log and most of it would be useless for the PR
bot. The CI bot would send less data to the PR bot and save resource for
our server.

getopt has to be installed in a different prefix to avoid conflicts with
tested ports. It's not ideal to install another MacPorts on Travis VMs
because it would be lost in the next build.

mpbb is designed for Buildbot and archive uploads. It's too powerful for
the CI bot and I only need several port commands in it. Travis only
provides stdout & stderr mixed log so I need to make it parsable.
The two bots could share code and implementing this part in two
languages would be unnecessary work.
