Likewise, I've avoided bumping PKGREVISION when updating a package
to build and install on Darwin. As I see it, PKGREVISION is a way
to tell the user (or pkgsrc itself) that a previously working
package has been improved. If the package just stopped being broken,
the user (and pkgsrc) already know it's been improved.
