It would be nice if hhvm and hhvm-x.x were separate packages instead of aliasing hhvm to the latest version, as this alias breaks when homebrew is upgraded.
For example:
brew install hhvm installs hhvm-4.61
Wait for hhvm 4.62 to be released
brew upgrade
hhvm --version indicates that I'm still on 4.61
???
It's especially confusing to try and rectify the situation after a brew upgrade as brew uninstall hhvm complains that I don't have hhvm-4.62 installed which is... correct but not a helpful error message.
My workaround is to brew uninstall hhvm && brew upgrade && brew install hhvm which is annoying and takes more time. If I forget to uninstall before upgrading it's brew uninstall hhvm-4.61 && brew install hhvm. Since HHVM has such a frequent release cadence trying to keep up-to-date with homebrew in this way is a bit tiresome.

This sounds reasonable to me and probably a simple change (possibly just change ln -sf ... to cp ... in the build script?) but I don't know a lot about Homebrew, @fredemmott what do you think?
