  This is, as you suggest, abusing PKREVISION, and that practice
should stop.  What we really want is a revision number of the
distfile.  Since DIST_SUBDIR is the only place we need that revision,
I would suggest something like

	DIST_SUBDIR=${PKGNAME_NOREV}-1

  Often, there is no need to bump the PKGREVISION (e.g. for a typo fix
in a README file that does not get installed), and there is no need to
re-fetch the distfile for an unrelated PKGREVISION bump later.
