I am creating a bourne script ( I would use python but that is not in 
base ) to build packages.
Synth, poudiere etc will not work, this is for a raspberry pi 2 and 
those tools don't run on the platform
I need to get the port version from the port
     1.    so I can construct a string and have a look see if that port 
is already in the repository
     2.    I want to know what version I am building
I have tried:
#!/bin/sh
for a in "dns/unbound ports-mgmt/pkg lang/perl5.20" ; do
     VERSION="$( grep PORTVERSION= /usr/ports/${a}/Makefile )"
     printf "Package: %s Version: %s\n" "${a}" "${VERSION##*=}"
done
That fails because all ports don't follow that, for instance:
     lang/perl5.20 has         PORTVERSION=    ${PERL_VERSION}
     ports-mgmt/pkg  has    DISTVERSION=    <what ever>
Is there some other way I can fetch the version from the Makefile?
