  Log:
  Don't disclose FreeBSD version in Received headers; just disclose that
  the OS is some version of FreeBSD.
  
  1) krion was unhappy about disclosure for security reasons.
  2) Oliver Eikemeier and I think that having at least "FreeBSD" in
     the headers is useful for support.
  3) Oliver and I don't think the security issue is a big deal.
  4) However, the previous implementation for including the OS version
     used the version of the package builder, which could lead to
     confusion in support.
  
  So a reasonable compromise is to include just ${OPSYS} but not ${OSREL}.
  
  Bump PORTREVISION accordingly.
