 And, for completeness sake as there are complaints we're not being 
 helpful enough here, you can verify this yourselves using "pkg_admin 
 pmatch", for example:
 
   Dewey match with fully-formed PKGBASE works:
 
    $ pkg_admin pmatch 'py311-gtk<2.0' py311-gtk-0.9 && echo match || echo no match
    match
 
   fnmatch on both PKGBASE and PKGVERSION works:
 
    $ pkg_admin pmatch 'py*-gtk-[0-9]*' py311-gtk-0.9 && echo match || echo no match
    match
 
   Dewey match with fnmatch in PKGBASE does NOT work:
 
    $ pkg_admin pmatch 'py*-gtk<2.0' py311-gtk-0.9 && echo match || echo no match
    no match
 
   Dewey match with alternates in PKGBASE does work:
 
    $ pkg_admin pmatch '{py27,py311}-gtk<2.0' py311-gtk-0.9 && echo match || echo no match
    match
 
 Hope that helps,
