>Description:
	
	
	With the update of biology/artemis to v6, biology/act is now
	redundant. Both ports install a similar file tree under PREFIX
	and the only difference was the installation of one executable
	in each case: art for artemis and act for, well act.

	Moreover both packages, as distributed by the Wellcome Trust
	Sanger Institute, are identical (ie. artemis and act are
	distributed in a single tarball).

	MD5 (artemis_compiled_v6.tar.gz) = 5ebd3db7edbb74eab5a84df9c693d4e1
	SIZE (artemis_compiled_v6.tar.gz) = 3947732

	MD5 (act_compiled_v3.tar.gz) = 5ebd3db7edbb74eab5a84df9c693d4e1
	SIZE (act_compiled_v3.tar.gz) = 3947732

	Thus, it is not necessary anymore to have users download
	identical distfiles under different names and to have two
	separate ports installing a similar file tree under different
	names (PREFIX/artemis-${PORTVERSION} and
	PREFIX/act-${PORTVERSION})
	
	The act executable is now installed by the artemis port
	(submitted in a companion PR)
	
	Please note that I have already tried to contact the maintainer,
	but I'm getting bounces with the address published in the
	Makefile (chuynh at biolateral.com.au). I'm sending a copy to this
	address anyway.
