Log Message:
Add support for SVR4_PKGNAME:

 SVR4 has a lenght limitation of the package name: Only 9 characters are allowed.
 Thats not a real problem since gensolpkg, which is used to create a SVR4
 packages, truncates the PKGNAME to 9 characters, but there is a second problem.

 Normaly you have a vendor identifier in that package name. gensolpkg uses
 at the moment TNF, so we only have 6 characters left, and that is insufficient
 for a few packages like the amanda ones. Where the real lenght should be
 limited to 5 characters so one can choose to use a vendor string up to 4
 characters.

 SVR4_PKGNAME should be only added to a few packages where the truncation of
 the PKGNAME does not produce an unique package name, e.g the amanda packages.

You will need pkgsrc/pkgtools/gensolpkg 1.9 which will be commited in the
next few days to use SVR4_PKGNAME.

TODO: add SVR4_PKGNAME support to pkglint.
