>Description:

tcl81-thread port's PKGNAME is tcl-8.1.b1-thread, whereas it should be
tcl-thread-8.1.b1, to ensure versioning works correctly.

>How-To-Repeat:

This is entirely theoretical, but it breaks attempts to find versioning
information and base package name from PKGNAME, especially if following
the conventions in the ports section of the handbook. (packages should
put compile-time options before the version, &c.)
