And I'll add with respect to your second point that _none_ of fink's
existing percent expansions work even close to that way. There's no way
to set a percent expansion via a *Script. They are _only_ set as fields
in the .info file.
I will admit that I would have liked being able to use Type: v (%v) in
contexts where I need the version without the '.' separators, but I get
by. Everybody else just deals with using perl, sed, or another editor
to change their .info files. It's pretty easy to change a Type via a
regular expression since there can be only one Type line in a .info file.
In any case, feel free to write an extension to fink to support setting
percent expansion variables in a script.
