Bumping PORTREVISION in this situation is the standard policy only
because we previously lacked the tools to update dependent ports on
shlib ABI changes without it.

Ideally, pkg(8) will be able to make that policy obsolete by automating
away the manual reverse-dependency tracking that should be (but is not
always) being done at the moment.
