Currently we have versions of the following

  PORTVERSION=  4.3.4
  PORTREVISION= 20090517

in the lang/gcc ports, where 20090517 is the date of a snapshot
of GCC 4.3.4.  This has some obvious problems when one needs a
PORTREVISION bump, so I am planning to change the versioning to

  PORTVERSION=  4.3.4.20090517

by concatenating the GCC release and the snapshot date.

Does any of you have any concerns with this?  Anything I might have
missed?

Gerald @FreeBSD.org

PS: In case you wonder about some of the recent changes for the
lang/gcc ports, these have been largely preparatory work for this
move (although they represent simplifications on their own account).
