Some time ago, we decided to stop being too clever about PKGNAMEs.
No more PKGNAME=${DISTNAME:C/.../:S/.../}. Just spell it out.
In a similar fashion, I suggest that there is no value in things like
HOMEPAGE= http://some.whe.re/
...
MASTER_SITES= ${HOMEPAGE}files/
It's just harder to read. If that homepage moves, you'll have to
check the location of the master site anyway. Just spell it out.
HOMEPAGE= http://some.whe.re/
...
MASTER_SITES= http://some.whe.re/files/
There are times where you don't want to duplicate data... and there
are times where you are just being silly.
