>Description:
Two things,
1) PIB still has the old port structure and will not build unless
   the directory structure is correct (rm old port structure dirs)
2) PIB does not display the pkg-descr file, it still looks for
   pkg/DESCR.
   
I'd like to see this fixed, because I love the look on the linux
newbies faces at work, when they watch me use pib to install a port
with multiple dependencies with a single click of a button.
It's just great!
I've attached a trivialpatch to correct item 2
>How-To-Repeat:
o  Fix the directory structure for pib by removing all directories
   but files.
o  Do a make install
o  Run pib and select a port
o  use the \"?\" (Next to the port titlebar in the browser window)
   to display the port's description.\no  A dialog box advises that pib can't find 
   /usr/ports/<port>/pkg/DESCR

Trivial patch attached

I've stripped the uuencoded stuff. Tell me if someone needs it!
