>Description:
	Various usergroups on http://www.freebsd.org/usergroups.html no
longer seem to exist.  This patch removes the ones that no longer seem to
exist, and corrects one that seems to have changed URL.  For those being
removed that have an email address associated with them, I've also tried
emailing it but found it bounced.  Note that I've made no attempt to verify
the usergroups that only have an email address (no website) listed.  Also,
two groups on the list (SEABUG and TRIBUG) haven't responded for a few
days, but I've left them in the list because Google Cache shows they
were working within the last month or so, so giving them a little more time
to come back may be worthwhile.  Lastly, http://www.FreeBSD-fr.org/ just
redirects to the main FreeBSD homepage, with no further information
anywhere on the main site, so I think that has gone.
