 Just for the record:
 
 This and other features have been integrated into port sysutils/pkg_install-devel,
 which is used to compare version numbers in portaudit.
 
 The version number sort and matching rules have silghtly changed from those cited
 above (as of pkg_install-devel version 20040512):
 
 - version numbers using `+' now sort as expected
 
 - a missing patchlevel number now sorts as -1 for consistency with missing
   version numbers, giving 10.a < 10.a0, which is in line with the existing tools
 
 - a component `*' has been introduced, which is guaranteed to sort *before* every other
   number, so that >=2.* <3.* will match *all* 2.x releases (Even 2.alpha)
 
 - csh style {} glob pattern can be used
