When installing Aegir 0.4-beta2 on FreeBSD (7.3 Stable), running the platform-agnostic install.sh script, the script unfortunately chooses the wrong web_group ('nogroup') for Apache.

On FreeBSD, Apache2 installed from ports runs default as user/group "www". In the $common_groups array in provision.drush.inc this option is missing. The script seems to fall back to web_group option 'nogroup' and the changing of directory and file permissions fails. By adding group 'www' to the array this is fixed, as shown in the attached patch.

Patches should be against our Git repos, we haven't used CVS in over 12 months. (I admit this is not obvious)

But the patch is trivial so I applied it, thanks very much!!
