If an old version of a package is left around in a 'work'
directory, and pksgrc is updated, its possible to get into
a confused state whereby the old version is installed but
registered as the new.
One thought would be to echo the version into the 'work/.xxxx_done'
files, another might be to create a 'work/.versions' file which
contains the output for something like 'md5 Makefile files/[a-z]*
pkg/P*'.
What do people think?
