Maybe. I don't know whether I should have asked re@ first, the MFC was 
announced in the commit log and `pkg_version -c' is stupid anyway, so I 
doubt anyone uses it. When you insist I can provide a shell script 
providing the same functionality or add it to the C version.

The problem with the package tools is that they are strongly tied with 
the ports tree, which is the same on -CURRENT and -STABLE, and the new 
features are really worth the MFC. And the C version is much faster than 
the perl one.

Anyway, how do you think we should proceed from here?
