Because we plan import new version Zope into portstree , it will
create many new ports, so we only discuss this problem related to
zope.

Historically in FreeBSD portstree it had at least 3 kinds of naming of
these zope-related ports, for example, now I shall create zope.browser
ports,:
1) py-zope.browser
2) py-zopeBrowser
3) py-zope-browser

which name is the best choice? I remember lwshu@ emailed the similar
problem to portsmgr@ to ask for the answer but did not get a explicit
one.

I do not know which one is the best choice , but I think better we
shall use the same naming type for all these zope-related ports.
Because there were many zope-related ports in current portstree use
the choice 1, so I think better rename others to the same naming type.
