How do commits to a port ultimately make it out to

FreeBSD's port of bitcoin is lagging behind. Here is a patch.
Though it should go well, a QT build has not been tried yet.
Surely others can do a better job with the makefile than me.
The rest is backport from bitcoind master + includes.
test_bitcoin works.
Please consider/review for inclusion.
FWIW, I tried to integrate the makefile changes, and hit some difficulties.
I can't seem to build with the current STATIC=1 at all, and using -static
produces a binary my system claims doesn't exist. :/
I don't know what you're integrating them with, what platform
you're on, what the output
Would it be a good time to request (or receive) an
update to Bitcoin? The rationale (security, bugs,
