compound depends

[David Holland <dholland-pkgtech%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Right now if you go to multimedia/gxine and do 'make show-depends',
you get a stray message

   sh: cannot open 2.0: no such file

along with the depends list. This turns out to be coming from the
xulrunner192 bl3 file, which includes the depends entry
"xulrunner192>=1.9.2.17nb2<2.0". Snader_LB pointed this out on
freenode last night and also observed that if the nb2 is removed, the
message goes away; IOW, whatever is handling this and leaving the <2.0
behind for the shell is apparently also not parsing version numbers
correctly. I have yet to track down what that is; however, I have two
questions:

1) is that depends entry supposed to work the way it is, or should it
be split up, as per the following patch?

2) is there a canonical reference for the syntax of depends entries?
