http://mirrorlist.freebsd.org in the Handbook

[Ryusuke SUZUKI]

Hello,

As Bruce Cran reported (http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20101117230925.00006d64),

http://mirrorlist.freebsd.org returns a 404.

I would like to delete the broken link to this site in the handbook (ports, mirrors chapter).

Can I apply the following patch?
If there is no objection, I will comit the patch.

Regards,
  Ryusuke
