p4fs-1.0.ebuild

Greetings!

Please see attached my very first ebuild for p4fs.

P4FS is a fuse program to mount a perforce repository on the local file system. Details can be seen at https://bitbucket.org/silverclaw/p4fs/overview

According to a tweet from the perforce people, the p4 static libraries are licensed BSD: https://twitter.com/p4mataway/status/519525958567489536
The sources for said libraries do not have any license file as far as I can see, but the source are openly accessible through the perforce swarm so one can safely assume they have a permissible license.

The ebuild does not currently meet the quality requirements I'd like to match, but I do not know how to proceed further. The last issue I was unable to solve is that the downloaded file from bitbucket is named "REL_1.0.tar.bz2" by default, and I do not know how to make portage rename the file as it is downloaded (to something more appropriate like p4fs-1.0.tar.bz2).

Thank you!

If it makes it easier for adoption, I'm the upstream developer, and have no objections to handling future bugs/updates for this ebuild.
