Log Message:
Add some important build info needed for evaluation of 1.6 build ability:

* Beef up Last-Snapshot.  Default to "never" instead, and show full 8-digit
  year.  Update to exactly what's available from ftp.netbsd.org.  Use
  "Unknown" to show ports which have had known -current snapshots, but do
  not currently have a snapshot on ftp.netbsd.org.

* Group all the toolchain bits together by putting "gdb" immediately
  after "ld".

* All ports for which the install media is built by some structure *not* in
  src/distrib now gets "Missing" in the "sysinst" column.

* All ports for which there is no install media to speak of now gets
  "Missing" in the "sysinst" column.  (The concept of "install" media for
  things like evb* and hpc* may seem foreign, but a simple wrap-up of a
  ramdisk with sysinst really should exist even for these ports.)

* The values "egcs", "O2" (renamed to "egcsO2"), and "2.9.1" in the
  toolchain version columns are now highlighted in red, as these are
  considered "old" and should be replaced.

* The value "other" in the toolchain columns is now highlighted in orange
  instead of red; this is an unavoidable condition of some ports such as
  x86_64, and only a bundled toolchain update will help them.

* A new column, "cross", gives the status of cross-buildability:
  Y (green): builds "make release" on non-NetBSD hosts
  NBhost (green): builds "make release" on NetBSD hosts only
  Build (orange): builds "make build", but cannot cross-build "release"
  N (red): cannot cross-build at all via build.sh (typically for a.out)
