 *   Remove trailing slash from MASTER_SITE_BACKUP example since it
 *   can lead to two trailing /'s, which is in turn an invalid URL (just
 *   bit me :-).

Err, when did this become invalid?  We've been fetching these
double-slash URLs for ages.

By the way, this variable is defined in bsd.port.mk, so changing a
comment here won't do much for most people.  (And then there are
MASTER_SITE_XCONTRIB etc....)  Also, just removing it will kill all
the ports with DIST_SUBDIR set because none of them have a trailing
slash now.
