nginx @1.2.1 Attempting to add uploadprogress variant

[mitch@…]

Hi Cal and Openmaintainer :-)

Attached is a diff with the latest Portfile from nginx@1.2.1, where I try to add a variant for Bricy Figureau's upload progress module.

I managed to figure out how to add the download URL, as well as the initial variant block. What I cannot solve is a configure error, and I'm pretty sure I am doing something wrong.

As a total macports n00b I'll do whatever you guys tell me to, I gotta get this module in or life becomes too difficult when there are updates to nginx. Can you please tell me where to look so I can try to fix this up?

My feeble attempt at adding a new variant to nginx Portfile

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

Commited in r94452 with the following changes:

• Renamed all variables to uploadprg_* to avoid conflicts with the upload variant
• Added post-extract phase to rename the extracted directory to the name expected passed to configure.

Cal, I owe you a very large glass of your favorite if you ever find your way to Italy. You got no idea what kind of pain this fix brings to an end, a thousand thanks! You da man!
