The reason why I'm not overwriting both linux_lib and linux_devel, is that
it takes a while before all "linux using" ports are updated and/or
upgraded. It's better accepted this way than just simply overwriting a port
and at the same time breaking a dozen others. As for the underscore, I
guess I feel the same about the underscore as you do about the dot. But,
more importantly, I follow the guidelines in the handbook.

If -devel should be avoided, what do you think of linux-compile?
