Hi,

Sorry to previous spam. 

I'm trying to compile package from port systitis/pecl-fileinfo and was
some saddened. This package consists depend to php, but name of
compiled package was pecl-fileinfo for either php version. 

In answer to my bug to this problem:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=123063

I get that so names for packages "it's not a bug, it's common
practice".

I didn't understand this practice. Why i can't to compile the same
package with several names by included dependencies into package.
In the same time i see many php extensions with php4- or php5- prefix
into package name which detected by php version installed into system. 

The same problem is exists for apache too. I can't to compile php
package for various apache versions but with different package names. 

I want to have possibility to create myself package repository with both
php and apache versions.
