Update XMLPPM and move to "archivers"?

Hi,

I noticed the current FreeBSD port for the XML archiver XMLPPM is slightly 
outdated. The version in the ports tree (0.98.1) contains a bug wich causes 
file corruption when 'large' XML files are processed. The latest version, 
available from SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmlppm), fixes 
this.

Also, XMLPPM is currently named "textproc/xmlpmm" in the ports tree. I would 
suggest moving it to "archivers/xmlppm", because this is a better 
categorization and it is more consistent with another XML archiver, XMill, 
which is in the in the "archivers" directory and does pretty much te same 
thing.

I hope you find this information helpful.

Kind regards,
Maks Verver.
