I'd appreciate some ideas better than what I've come up with so far to
deal with the very strange X.Org release naming.

When modular tarballs are part of a full X.Org release (7.0, 7.1, etc),
then they are named PN-PV-XORG_RELEASE.tar.(gz|bz2) and S matches. When
modular tarballs are independently released outside a full X.Org
release, they are named the standard way -- PN-PV.tar.(gz|bz2), same for S.

Dealing with this all in an automated fashion in x-modular.eclass is
somewhat difficult, and here's what I've come up with:

A variable (XORG_PV), set by the ebuild, to tell _which_ release it's
part of when it is part of a full release. If it's set, that means (1)
it is part of a full release and (2) indicates which release it's part of.

What does this mean for the future? All modular X ebuilds that are part
of a full release will require XORG_PV to be set. All modular X ebuilds
that aren't part of a full release will not require anything new. I'm
doing it this way because I expect there to be more packages that aren't
part of a full release than ones that are.

Please give me your input on this.

Thanks,
Donnie
