That's a great deal - the portversion is only used as symbolics to ppl
can differentiate it, and we only use the ports' serial for upgrade/undo
checks.  I'm in favor of it :)

btw, the current version consistency check doesn't work. "1.10" is
reported as "invalid" version.

I'm currently finding out what the features_provided stuff is.

It seems to me that hte package install routine opens a dependency
file compared to INDEX, which lists all packages that provide that and
that feature.

If none does exist and the source for the to be installed package is
local, it does create such a INDEX-liek file, scanning all the .pkg.zip
files that it finds in the local directory.

For remote sites (e.g. ftp-servers) this file must be provided.

However, the format is broken.  but I'm about to fix it, and
it looks like the package is able to automatically install dependend
packages.
