 * I did actually run portlint, which said
 * 
 * PKGNAME , which is defined via DISTNAME, must come with version number.
 * 
 * but I couldn't see what the problem was as it clearly had a version number!
 * Perhaps the message should be changed to something like
 * 
 * PKGNAME, which is defined via (derived from?) DISTNAME, must be in the format
 * <prog>-<version>.

Um, I've been hearing a lot of these things lately, but portlint was
never intended to be, and will never be, a replacement of the
handbook.

It is just for checking errors or typos that can be easily found
without human invention -- all ports committers are expected to
memorize every single sentence in the handbook's "porting" section
(ok, maybe not, but at least consult it).
