Update news with FreeBSD / Sysinstall work that is starting

Commit by sullrich on PRODUCTION_2_1 :: installer/src/ (6 files in 6 dirs):

Add -fPIC so that we can build BSD-Installer on AMD64.

Commit by cpressey :: installer/src/backend/lua/lib/PackageList.lua:

PackageList module is deprecated, so remove it.

Commit by cpressey :: installer/src/lib/lua/compat-5.1/ (5 files):

 Remove compat-5.1, as it is no longer needed now that we
build and run with Lua 5.1.2.

Commit by cpressey :: installer/src/lib/lua/ (11 files in 3 dirs):

 Apply changes to the installer and libaries so that it can build
(and hopefully, run correctly) with Lua 5.1.2.  Not all of the
code paths of the installer have been exercised, so it is quite
possible that runtime errors will occur, and if so, it is likely
because of use of 5.0 idioms not supported in 5.1.2.  These are
'for k,v in t' where 5.1 needs 'for k,v in pairs(t)', and use
of the built-in 'arg' parameter, where 5.1 needs '...' instead.

Commit by cpressey :: installer/src/ (7 files in 6 dirs):

 Allow Lua 5.1.2 to build by adding missing files from etc and doc,
and by ensuring that the CVS hangover directories 'lua' and 'luac'
are blown away before the build tries to write executables with
those names.

Commit by cpressey :: installer/src/platform/lua/ (90 files in 6 dirs):

 Upgrade the repository's version of Lua from 5.0.2 to 5.1.2.
This is a completely unmodified, vanilla copy of the 5.1.2 dist.
Note that the include directory, and the subdirectories of src,
are not part of the 5.1.2 distribution, but holdovers from 5.0.2.
Note also that this commit alone breaks the build; fixes to the
installer sources to make them Lua 5.1.2-compliant will follow.

Commit by cpressey :: installer/src/Config:

Improve comments in Config regarding NLS (missed in last commit.)

Commit by cpressey :: installer/src/ (8 files in 8 dirs):

 Canonicalize and centralize the location of Lua files with the
Makefile variabes LUA, LUABIN, LUALIB, and LUAINC.  This will
be of assistance when we transition to Lua 5.1.
Also disable NLS and __unused by default, to allow simpler
building "out of the box" on more platorms.  Hopefully in the
future this will be replaced by some simpler configuration
mechanism, as well.

Commit by cpressey :: installer/src/ (6 files in 5 dirs):

Allow building under Cygwin, FWIW.

Commit by cpressey :: installer/src/ (7 files in 7 dirs):

 Additional Makefile changes to allow building on FAT drives (for
example, on shared partitions or USB flash sticks) under FreeBSD.

Commit by cpressey :: installer/src/ (9 files in 9 dirs):

 Touch dummy files before 'rm' in 'make clean', so that there is always
at least one file around to be deleted.  Also honour ${LN} variable.
Together these allow building on FAT32 filesystems with 'make LN=echo'.

Commit by sullrich :: www/about.html:

Development is no longer daily, but hype up the Lua integration.

Commit by sullrich :: www/about.html:

Mention Andrew Turner which has been working hard to get BSDInstaller into FreeBSD's CVS tree.

Commit by sullrich :: www/about.html:

We cannot forget FreeSBIE!!

Commit by sullrich :: www/about.html:

Long overdue update of about page to mention that I originally ported BSDInstaller to FreeBSD and created pfSense using BSDInstaller.
