darwinports dot com

[Ryan Schmidt]

Oh, and: darwinports dot com is not a mirror of the MacPorts project.  
Rather, it is merely a different front-end to view the available  
ports, and it also contains (probably incorrect) instructions for  
installing and using MacPorts.

I'm changing the subject line to a non-link so that we don't drive  
even more traffic to this inconvenient web site.
