New description:

 Currently livecheck.type moddate uses the Portfiles mtime for comparison
 to remotes mtime.

 It would be useful to allow control of the comparison time. Attached is a
 patch to portlivecheck.tcl which enhances the livecheck.type moddate
 option to allow setting the comparison time, defaulting to current
 behavior.

 There is also a new function "getmoddate" added to curl.c and a new
 livecheck.type option "moddate2" in portlivecheck.tcl which uses
 getmoddate to provide a more informative ui_msg.

 The moddate2 option is added for easy comparison, not to add another
 option. I am proposing replacing the use of isnewer with getmoddate.
