I've noticed that the source packages are inconsistent.  That doesn't
mean that they should stay inconsistent.  The source package directory
should reflect the name of the packages.  So for this curl package you
would want your source directory named curl-7.9-1.  Robert stated that
it didn't matter to him, but it does matter to some of which I am one.
