Thunderbird 2.0 release = reimport the old version as mail/thunderbird15
and update mail/thunderbird to 2.0

Thunderbird 3.0 release = reimport the old version as mail/thunderbird2
and update mail/thunderbird to 3.0

And so on...

Although two significant advantages are:

- it keeps most of the CVS history in one place
- there's a canonical place for Makefile.common and buildlink3 bits

So I think I'll be using this approach eventually.

I'll have to reimport www/firefox as www/firefox15 and copy www/firefox2 to
www/firefox as well then.
