"meta-port" for the MATE base integrated X11 desktop

MATE is a fork of GNOME 2. It provides an intuitive and attractive desktop to users using traditional metaphors. -- Where does the name come from? The name "MATE" comes from yerba mate, a species of holly native to subtropical South America. Its leaves contain caffeine and are used to make infusions and a beverage called mate. -- This metaport installs only MATE base (lite, a lean desktop) with file manager without any of extra applications. If you want to have the most common user MATE applications, please install the x11/mate metaport.
