attempting to install libidl port with base version 1.320 gives cryptic error message

Description

i just did a successful "sudo port sync" and then got this when trying to install libidl: 

beejmacbook:~ beej$ sudo port -v install libidl
Error: Unable to execute port: invalid command name "configure.ldflags-append"

this fixed the problem: 

beejmacbook:~ beej$ sudo port selfupdate
DarwinPorts base version 1.320 installed
Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.440
Configuring, Building and Installing new MacPorts base
selfupdate done!

shouldn't we be bumping some version number somewhere when new port files require a base upgrade?

We do want Portfiles to be able to declare a dependency on a base version, but that's not possible at the moment.

Closing this as worksforme because upgrading to latest base version fixes the described issue.
