rename to freebsd-powerpc?

[David Leimbach]

Well is the goal to support "all" PowerPC or just Macintosh?

There are a ton of VME PowerPC boards out there and some
RS/6000s that might be able to run FreeBSD as well.

What is the goal of people on this list?   If its just mac-powerpc
perhaps that is the way to go?  Of course if Apple actually releases
a Mac based on PPC-970 [64 bit PPC CPU] then we might get more confusion
with Mac-PowerPC. :)

Technically I think PPC is fine, powerpc is better but it may not
really be more specific :).
