I like the idea. I've tripped on that myself.

Changing PKGNAME in place with ":=" looks sneaky. I guess you do that
because "=" won't let you put the variable you're changing on the rhs.
Does that do the right thing in the places where ${PKGNAME} is
referenced _before_ you change it (e.g., to compute ${PKGVERSION})? If
not, the foolproof way would be to make another variable for the whole
pkgname, and change most (all) of the instances of ${PKGNAME} to refer
to the new variable.
