I think most MacPorts users care more about getting mtree fixed sooner 
rather than later, then whether version reports 1.511 or 1.520...

Since it isn't getting released anyway (besides "selfupdate"), it 
doesn't have to have a redable name. But calling it "1.5.1.1" would be 
consistent with standard naming, and still get transmogrified into 
1.511 for the little brain of the version comparer.
