	I'm supposing 1.7.0 sources are properly routed to use the PortGroup  
files in the dports directory (big woot for that move!), but even  
still we should maybe consider some upgrade code to delete the soon-to- 
become-stale files in ${prefix}/share/macports/resources/port1.0/ 
group/ (and what about the other directories in ${prefix}/share/ 
macports/resources/, will they move to elsewhere too?).

	Regards,...
