Maybe the port should address this? Also, I see that DISTNAME is statically set, and if infact live.com creates build daily and doesnt archive old builds, this needs to be updated to reflect the current date in the DISTNAME to retrieve the proper distfile. If the maintainer is unresponsive, I would be willing to write a patch for this. Hope this helps. Regards, Frank Laszlo
