[theme-reviewers] Issue with Purple Pastels 6.01 in the Theme Directory

[Chip Bennett]

The directory naming is an automated process, based entirely on the Theme
name.

As far as I know, spaces in Theme Name are converted to hyphens. So, a Theme
named "Purple Pastels" will have a Theme slug (directory name) of
"purple-pastels".

In order to have the Theme slug (directory name) of "purplepastels", the
Theme name would have to be "PurplePastels" (no spaces).

Note: I'm not sure if Extend will allow both "purple-pastels" AND
"purplepastels", but I've not seen anything thus far to lead me to believe
that it *wouldn't*.

Also, please note: the Theme Review team has basically no control over what
happens to Themes once we sync them from SVN to Extend. All we do is
determine whether or not a Theme uploaded to SVN is made live in Extend.
