What exactly does this. Keep the original version numbers ?

Oops and I thought I made everything to avoid failures :-/

Please pass me the hat ;-)

BTW, I used the tcl/README.FreeBSD file as guide, since it
seems to be both:
	- a reference, what has been imported
	- a guide, how to import contributed GNU software

I suggest we should alter the information in these files,
because it's very misleading as you all can see.

I'd suggest to add a note:

"Please Note: for future imports use additionally
	- the -ko flag for the "cvs import" command
	- a real vendor tag like the name of the author
 i.e.: cvs import src/contrib/bc AUTHOR bc_x_y_z"

Shouldn't we do that for all README.FreeBSD files ?!
