- kill the section on Netscape browser, it was removed from the Ports
  collection two months ago for long term unpatched security problems.
  Its 6 and 7 versions never gained a significant mindshare against Mozilla
  anyway.
- remove all other references to Netscape
- update Adobe Acrobat references to mention version 7 and remove the example
  for package installation, we don't have Acrobat packages due to licensing
  restrictions.
- unify capitalization of the Ports collection
