Thomas De Schampheleire f6fc9abd10 pkg-virtual: simplify definition of FOO_VERSION to 'virtual'
As mentioned in the e-mail accompanying the introduction of the pkg-virtual
infrastructure [1], the definition of FOO_VERSION is 'strange'.

After the cleanup of single/double dollar signs in inner-generic-package,
the special construction in pkg-virtual is no longer needed and can be
simplified.

# Virtual package infrastructure
#
# This file implements an infrastructure that eases development of
# package .mk files for virtual packages. It should be used for all
# virtual packages.
#
# See the Buildroot documentation for details on the usage of this
# infrastructure
#
# In terms of implementation, this virtual infrastructure requires
# the .mk file to only call the 'virtual-package' macro.

# argument 1 is the lowercase package name
# argument 2 is the uppercase package name, including an HOST_ prefix
# for host packages
# argument 3 is the uppercase package name, without the HOST_ prefix
# for host packages
# argument 4 is the type (target or host)
