Nope, but thanks for the pointer.

My fault at least as much as anyone else's.
I downloaded the patch, and I've been staring at it for awhile. The
base looks like a pre-import pkg_version. The problem is that this was
before someone gave me the "update ports shell script"-generating code,
which radically changed the way output is done.
If I could go back in time, I would rip that part out, since, as I've
said about a gazillion times, pkg_version is not designed for the
automatic updating of ports. I might settle for going back to
printf-style output, rather than write/format. That'd make it more
feasible to put your patch in.
So what I'm planning to do (in this order) is to get pkg_version
working with the new version number syntax, patch in a quick featurette
from marko, fix a few other bugs, and then look at the multi-version
problem again. (Mostly because I know how to do the first three.)
Thanks!
Bruce.
