On second tought, redefining WORKSRC is not a good idea as you
basically only want to reset DISTNAME. The reason is that
resetting WORKSRC includes WORKDIR, which is derived from the
modulation. The code to find the license searches all WORKSRC
in all modulations, and on resetting WORKSRC this would require
rewriting the WORKDIR prefix. This is possible, but ugly and I
want to do this only when it becomes really necessary. Until
that time I would prefer the recommendation to leave WORKSRC
alone.
