Changing dist_subdir was not necessary in this case because the distnames were different.

The revision field is used to cause users to rebuild a port, so only increase the revision if users would benefit by rebuilding. Usually that's only when the files the port installs change, or if the library or runtime dependencies change. In this case nothing changed for users who already had the port installed so the revision should not have been increased.
