But like name_splitted.cpp is buggy as it assumes that a dash followed
by a digit starts the version part. See
  echo ${PORTDIR}/*-*/* | tr ' ' '\n' | grep '\-[[:digit:]]'
for some names that break the assumption.

And no clue what that cvs stuff is supposed to do, as there are no
packages using that naming pattern, and the (unused) cvs versioning
extension in portage-2.1 also uses a different pattern.
