I'm wondering if it might be a good idea to bring pkg_version into the base system? There's two reasons on my mind...first, that it's available to everyone, not just people "in the know" enough to find and download the port. Second, I've been horribly lax at even responding to people who've sent in improvements to pkg_version, since, admittedly, it does exactly what I want the way it is and for me personally, it's a better use of my time to work on other projects. If it were part of the base system, then anyone with commit privileges could make changes/improvements/bugfixes, probably much quicker than trying to get me to make changes. Any thoughts?
