Ok this one is a nightmare :) I now check if there's a HOMEPAGE first, 
in many cases, HOMEPAGE has a direct link to latest version, this fixes 
for example bzip2-like packages. Also, as this absolutely don't fix 
gnome-like hosted projects, i included a parent directory lookup if we are 
in the case of a "clean package" (DISTNAME has major and minor). This 
should work for gnome* and probably others.
