This produces two binary versions, right?  It's just as economical on disk
space in that case after install, just not during build.  Look at Pine vs.
pico - same deal.  This is actually a very good way of doing it, I do
believe.

Now, do remember that the PATCHDIR (and even FILESDIR) can be overridden in
your pkg Makefile if you want to have, say, a shared md5 and shared patches.
Just put them into one of the pkgs' directories (say, php3) and point the
other one at it via a PATCHDIR=../../category/pkgname/patches construct.
