I am updating the emboss FreeBSD port, and noticed that the
embassy tarballs that were named as *NEW are not 'new'
anymore (i.e. they were renamed back to the previous name,
without the suffix). 
MEMENEW => MEME
PHYLIPNEW => PHYLIP
However, only the gzipped tarball file was renamed, the
contents of the tarball extract to a directory containing
the previous name:
gama# tar tvzf PHYLIP-3.6b.tar.gz | less
drwxrwxrwx  0 root   root        0 Mar  6 08:07 PHYLIPNEW-3.6b/
drwxrwxrwx  0 root   root        0 Mar  6 08:07 PHYLIPNEW-3.6b/m4/
-rw-r--r--  0 root   root     4626 Jan 31 09:48 PHYLIPNEW-3.6b/m4/java.m4
...
I can work around this, but certainly keeping the same
distfile name in all places is cleaner and easier to work
with :)
