I know there were some discussions on our revision token when we  
introduced revisions on recipe, but I don't remeber the conclusion and why  
some decisions were made. One such case is the Imagemagick recipe. The  
Imagemagick developers release several revisions of each version, last  
version atm being 6.3.3-1, while we have 6.3.3-0 in the recipe store.  
However the recipe is named 6.3.3_0, i.e. the revision dash is replaced  
with an underscore and I can't remember the real reason behind that  
decision, if there ever were such a decision. Lucas remembered something  
about it being because it was easier (less visually confusing) to use  
underscores when the deelopers released revisions as we have dashes in our  
revisions, e.g. ImageMagick 6.3.3_0-r1 instead of 6.3.3-0-r1. However this  
breaks the update of the recipe as the dash is used in the URL in the  
recipe, so NewVersion tried to substitue 6.3.3_0 with 6.3.3-1 when I ran  
'NewVersion imagemagick 6.3.3-1'. Because of that I think we should reise  
the decision of substituting dashes with underscore, as I believe  
functionality should come before visual comfort.
