The OO ports create binaries and links with the version number as part
of the name; "openoffice.org-2.4.1-scalc", for example.
Unless there's something obvious I've missed, each time the port is
updated, anything that refers to the OO programs by name has to be
modified. (For example, window manager menu entries.)
If the port could create generic links in addition to the ones with
version numbers, it would be one less step needed in updating.
In other words, create a link called "openoffice.org-scalc" (or maybe
even just "scalc") in addition to the one with a version number. More
specifically:

This ignores other minor changes would be needed, like a pkg-message
telling the user about the generic names and putting them in the
generated pkg-plist.
Thanks!
