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 mod date proc 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.
