Hi, is there any reason to have a files, pkg and scripts directory?
It seems to me that pkg and scripts could be merged into the files 
directory.  Wouldn't this make the ports install much faster?  A good
chunk of the ports have only 1 file, md5, in the files directory right
now and 3 files in pkg.  This change would involve lots of repository
copying and testing, but it is probably worth it.

Michael
