>Description:
I'm trying to install pkgtools/osabi since it's a dependency for other packages 
I want to install.  I'm using gcc on aix 5.3, and below is the error I'm 
getting:

===> Installing for osabi-AIX-5.3.0.0
=> Running PRE-INSTALL script actions
The Operating System version (5.3) does not match 5.3.0.0
*** Error code 1

pkgsrc reports the OS_VERSION as 5.3.0.0.  From a brief discussion on 
pkgsrc-users, pkgsrc should report OS_VERSION as 5.3.


>How-To-Repeat:
Try to install osabi on aix 5.3.
>Fix:
The problem is in pkgsrc/mk/bsd.prefs.mk.  Backslashes are not needed to do the 
regex grouping, and their presence interferes with it.  This prevents "5.3.0.0" 
from being transformed into "5.3" as intended.  The following patch fixes the 
problem:
