Haven't heard from you guys for a while, what's the take?  My
suggestion is:

    .packages/ -> All/
    all/ -> (remove)

and yours were

    .packages/ -> all/

As I said, there is a bug in shell globbing that will do strange
things when the target of a symlink doesn't exist.  Also, the
"delete-package-links" (among other things) in the bsd.port.mk file
relies on the actual package directory being easily identifiable.
