Found it.  Yeah I figured this was just a sandbox to play with until
things were ready for the move.

For the one I had posted so far, I used <portname>-<platform>-<version>.zip
I think eventually we could work on a generic install file script,
perhaps named install.sh that would copy all of the files in the zip
to their proper places.  This could also easily include a dialog box
with whatever info you what to display to the user.  If you haven't
played around with scripting on BeOS/Haiku, there's a command called
'alert' that can do this.
