ports-mgmt/tinderbox-devel update

Yesterday i’ve got the idea to update our tinderbox-devel port.
This update include the latest cvs snapshot with few fixes and
two highly experimental patches from beat@ and Tim Bishop.

Fixes from upstream:
- Remove X11BASE support it is now obsolete. (already in ports-mgmt/tinderbox)
- Expand the glob to check for Perl so that it actually
captures lang/perl5.10. (already in ports-mgmt/tinderbox)
- Restore some of the leftover exceptions but use LOCALBASE instead of X11BASE.
- Expand the MySQL glob to match on MySQL 5.4 and 5.5.
- Adjust the SQL query to remove all entries from a BuildPortsQueue. This
makes things more compatible.

Two Experimental patches from Tim Bishop and beat@.

Tim has added support for multiple tinderd instances at the same
time.

The parallel patch allows to run multiple tinderd instances at the
same time.
You can enable multiple tinderd instances via /etc/rc.conf with
tinderd_instances=”X”

beat as added support for tmpfs to enable the usage of FreeBSD’s
tmpfs implementation.

I use both patches now more than 3 or 4 month’s without problems.

Both patches are experimental and are not official supported by the Tinderbox
distribution.
