templates:

• version is kept because there's a matching easyconfig parameter (same for version_prefix and version_suffix);
• all other cases: ver is used instead of version

[Micket]

I filled in the template constants, consistent with URL and LOWER and underscores. I know there is also

    ARCH,
    EXTERNAL_MODULE,
    HOME,
    OS_NAME,
    OS_PKG_IBVERBS_DEV,
    OS_PKG_OPENSSL_BIN,
    OS_PKG_OPENSSL_DEV,
    OS_PKG_OPENSSL_LIB,
    OS_PKG_PAM_DEV,
    OS_TYPE,
    OS_VERSION,
    SYSTEM,
    SYS_PYTHON_VERSION,

but those look fine as they are to me.
