Categorising software in the Ports-like system.

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

Should we categories programs in the Ports-like system (from here on
PLS until a new name is found)?

The BSD's do it, no idea in what way.  I was thinking if we maybe
could use the Free Software Dictionary (FSD) and use the categories in
there, but they have it categorised into sub-categories.  Somehow I
think this would be a bad idea if used directly
(ex. productivity/address/ for address-books).

What I was thinking is that we take the main categories, put the
packages into that, and then maybe just include a "category" variable
in the Makefile for each package.  This can be used when doing a
search (which needs to be implemented).

(and the bonus of using the FSD is that we can cannibalise all the
short/long descriptions!  And there should be a script that updates
all the fields we snatch from the FSD in all the Makefiles)
