Sure, I actually screwed up by not changing

externVars.h.in to externVars.h as well.

configure sets PACKAGE_VERSION to the version number,
after configure it can be changed to show the revision number
from bsd ports.  Portmanager picks that up because it uses
externVars.h PACKAGE_VERSION to display version info on various
reports.  When users send in questions and paste the output it
is easy for me to tell what version/revision level they are at.

If you run the sed comand post patch, configure comes
along and wipes the change to PKG_VERSION out
