Hi Warren,

Just because other people have put version numbers in port directory
names, doesn't mean you should. It's an evil and much abused exception
to the rule for situations where two (usually incompatible) branches of
a package exist.

For your package, it's not necessary. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
