           Summary: ports-mgmt/porttools: Should probably insert
                    DISTVERSION instead of PORTVERSION

The Porter's Handbook (and my mentors) state that DISTVERSION should be used
instead of PORTVERSION whenever possible (section 5.2.2):

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-naming.html

The "port create" command currently inserts PORTVERSION into new skeletal
ports, though.

Should just be a matter of updating tmpl/*.
