 * I've just offered two fixes :-) Both unfortunately need changes to
 * anything adding/deleting packages - I have Cc:'ed the respective
 * maintainers.  This is bad for backwards compatibility, but something I
 * believe would be a Good Thing(tm) for 3.0.  It would probably be best
 * if the installer did a convert on update, though.

I'm not sure if you got my mail, but anyway: you don't need to change
the /var/db/pkg/<packagename> structure.  I have been enforcing the
<name>-<version> convention for all the package names, so it is easy
to deduce the name by just subtracting the last hyphen and anything
that follows it in the utilities.

I can change bsd.port.mk, can someone look at pkg_*?  (No, not me. ;)
