>Description:
The existing port [games/tmw] should be renamed to [games/mana].

Rationale:
The Mana World (TMW) is a game utilizing code from the Mana Project. TMW refers to a specific game, not the client. Additionally, from themanaworld.org:

"The old official client for playing The Mana World is the Mana client and is developed as part of the Mana project. The latest version of the client can be downloaded from there.

There will probably be no more releases of the Mana client that support this server. Use ManaPlus instead."

The Mana Project refers to the client as the "Mana client", with an official source distribution of "mana-0.6.1.tar.gz".

In short: The existing name is misleading and won't work well if Mana Plus is ported. Switching the port name helps the name of the project.


>How-To-Repeat:
Not applicable here, sorry.
>Fix:
A patch can be provided, but really isn't suited to port moves. If you would like a patch, I will happily provide it. For the sake of everyone, a simple `svn mv` should suffice.
