There's a "version" just under the Portfile "name", currently "11.5.1"
(Portfile has been updated since my first post ;) ).
Would you prefer a different naming/versioning scheme ?

I started up with another database's Portfile as an example and collected what
I thought to be best practices from a representative set of ports.

When I started the Portfile, it made sense to install MonetDB without starting
the server, to be able to use client libraries (Perl, Python, …) or connect to
a remote server using "mclient".
This is the reason why I choose to follow other's database package behavior.
Again, please tell me if you would like this to be changed in any way.

I'd be glad to submit it and maintain it.
Any remarks (naming, versioning, description, whatever…) before I proceed ?
