patch

Hello Thierry,

Currently Paraview users have to list Paraview version like this:
> LIB_DEPENDS=libvtkRenderingCore-pv5.10.so:science/paraview

I would like to suggest that Paraview should take the same approach as
math/vtk9: it would supply the file Makefile.version that all users of Paraiew
would include and then the dependency line would become:
> LIB_DEPENDS=libvtkRenderingCore-pv${PARAVIEW_VER}.so:science/paraview

This would make updating the Paraview port easier, because the version would be
in just one file.


Thanks,
Yuri
