What is the point of defining this variable to #empty if that definition 
does not change anything? Isn't that like defining 
WRKSRC=${WRKDIR}/${DISTNAME}?

Maybe there's some hidden message in saying PKGREVISION=#empty that 
didn't reach me yet. If so, please tell me. Currently I think it is not 
necessary and it just makes the Makefiles longer than necessary.
