No, the change was intentional; the old system was inconsistent in  
how the top level directories in the archive were named (check out  
what the wxMSW-2.6.3 ZIP does, for example), and I wanted to make  
them consistent. Though I'll admit I wasn't aware there was a  
consistent naming system for the archive's top level dir that should  
be adhered to.

I'll go ahead and make it so that all the archives have the top level  
directory named after the port/archive. Once I've done a successful  
test-spin, I'll go ahead and commit the changes.

Thanks,

Kevin
