Why are we using version numbers as parts of our port-names? This allow overwriting part of an existing port (e.g. samba 1.9.14) with a new version of the same port, and with no warnings. Are there any benefits beyond the fact that the presently installed version number is obvious (which we probably could fix anyway)? Eivind
