Description
The dialog portfile goes through considerable hoops to rename the distfile to a versioned name after build, and back to an unversioned name before build. It would be so much simpler to just use the dist_subdir variable, wouldn't it? See the patch.

I would say it would be better to contact upstream to ask them to provide a versioned tarball, or just host it ourselves.

distfiles and files should be consider read-only, as far as Portfiles are concerned.
If anything needs to be modified (probably doesn't here), it should happen in work...

Portfile changed in r30851 (though upstream change would be better)
