MacPorts 1.7.0 without GSoC contributions

[Ryan Schmidt]

We have 9 months of development on trunk since 1.6.0. It has several  
new features, not just bugfixes, so it seems big enough and different  
enough to warrant the 1.7.0 version number. Also, we have a bug in  
the 1.6.0 disk image installer whereby the .profile doesn't get  
created. Policy thus far has been to only create disk images for .0  
releases so 1.7.0 would be the first version that could fix that (not  
that I like this policy...).
