diffstat uses distname without version in it

Description
The diffstat port routinely fails to build when a new version of diffstat has been released and MacPorts has not caught up. This problem is affecting the diffstat port as the most current version of diffstat is 1.46 and the port references 1.45. The reason for this is that the Portfile specifies a distfile name that is a soft link for the latest version. The distfile should use the specific distribution file name, not the soft link to the most recent version. A patch is provided below.

I apparently fixed this in r49304

tickets.
Carl, please remember to assign tickets to the port owner so that they may see and act upon them.
I can confirm that this problem exists, but I propose a different fix, which I attach.
Tim: please indicate whether I may commit this fix to your port.
