Summary: Change PKG_DIR convention

Initial Comment:

As noted in

https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=30251660

the established convention for PKG_DIR in Makefile.in

PKG_DIR=    $(PACKAGE_NAME)$(PACKAGE_VERSION)

cannot work well for packages that make the unfortunate choice
to end their package name with a number.

An alternative convention

PKG_DIR=    $(PACKAGE_NAME)-$(PACKAGE_VERSION)

would take care of them, and also align better with
other packaging standards out there, AIUI.

Message:
Perhaps I spoke a bit too quickly.
My personal preference would be for the topmost *source* dir of the package
to be named '
'name-ver' and the install dir to simply be 'name' but that might not be
practical so I'm fine with an install dir of 'name-ver'.
