would it be possible to move to (what i think is) a cleaner way of handling 
packages ?  ive started doing this in our Blackfin uclinux-dist:
lib/libpng/libpng-1.2.16/
lib/libpng/libpng-1.2.18/
lib/libpng/Makefile

and in the Makefile, the first line simply reads:
VER = libpng-1.2.18
and the rest of the Makefile just refers to $(VER)

it's made my life managing version bumps much easier as i can clearly see:
 - the old version
 - the new version
 - the uClinux-dist specific pieces
 - switching between versions to test for regressions

then if i have to tweak something in the package, i make the commit, but then 
i just split it off:
lib/libpng/patches/libpng-1.2.18-symbol-prefixes.patch
which i push to the upstream people
