I seem to remember some discussion on using numeric only, and not alpha

unless its just my faulty memory mixing up PORTVERSION/REVISION.

only thing I found ~seems~ to indicate using alpha is ok:

<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/makefile-naming.html#AEN504>

portlint -abt doesn't complain, but it is a 'new port' and I don't want
it to start out life with something that will garner larts,pavmail or
other wise generate public flogging once I commit it.
Try setting DISTVERSION=1.0.0b and let the ports generate PORTVERSION
make -V PORTVERSION
1.0.0.b

ok, like that?
