Subject: Please review: nbX => PKGREVISION

I'd like to commit a patch to bsd.pkg.mk (and a couple of package ;-) that
gets rid of manually adding "nbX" to PKGNAME when a pkg was changed in
pkgsrc. Instead, a new variable PKGREVISION is invented that can get
bumped independent of DISTNAME and PKGNAME.
Example #1:
DISTNAME= foo-X.Y
PKGREVISION= Z
=> PKGNAME= foo-X.YnbZ
Example #2:
DISTNAME= barthing-X.Y
PKGNAME= bar-X.Y
PKGREVISION= Z
=> PKGNAME= bar=X.YnbZ (!)
On subsequent changes, only PKGREVISION needs to be bumped, no more risk
of getting DISTNAME changed accidentally.
The patch is available at:

Comments? Please review, as I'd like to commit this soon. Thanks!
