While doing the work on vtwm, in one of the initial versions I had,
before I discovered
url2pkg, I had borrowed the Makefile from wm/tvtwm and also used ports2pkg as
a FreeBSD port already existed.

In one of those, I can't remember which one it was, I had set the
PKGNAME to vtwm
while the DISTNAME was vtwm-5.4.7.  While doing a make, the build was trying to
cd to work/vtwm which didn't exist, instead of work/vtwm-5.4.7,  since
vtwm untars into
 vtwm-5.4.7.  

Based on that experience, I was trying to be careful and make sure that the
build worked correctly, even if I had PKGNAME set to something
diffrent then DISTNAME.


What I was trying to do by setting the PKGNAME was to get the following effect:

     prompt# pkg_add vtwm

rather then having to do

    prompt# pkg_add vtwm-5.4.7

Is this incorrect behaviour for NetBSD/pkgsrc ?
