 * Because that is NOT the standard of the port.

I saw the mail John Robert LoVerso (loverso@osf.org) wrote to John
Ousterhout (it was resent to `ports' by Jordan).

 * 						  To change it involved a LOT
 * of code (I wrote all the diffs to do this the first time),

This is a little hard to believe, I did the tcl74/tk4 ports and the
version number changes was only a minor part (I mean it has a largish
diff for shared library support, which tcl/tk didn't have, but
changing the name of the library was only a small part of that patch).

 * 							       but our previous
 * behavior is a -bug-.

I don't agree with this.  Disallowing a special character (`.' in this
case, which is used to delimit various parts of the library file name)
in the `name' part of the library can be construed as a `feature' (ok, 
only if it's documented :).

At any rate, I wish you'd asked the lists before commiting the change, 
this is a pretty important change....
