I deliberately did not bump PORTREVISION [*] to minimize effect on 4.x users
(presuming they already have nvidia-driver port installed and registered
properly).

Nonetheless, I'm thinking of more perfect way of dealing with this issue
right now, and in case I could not get one promptly, I'll IGNORE it on
4.x or find other canonically-proper way to fix it.

Despite the fact you're quite right, and I'm very aware of those and
fixes will follow promptly, I'd appreciate if such assessments were
sent privately.

Thanks.

P.S.  For 4.X only [*]
