Chipmunk fetches ~8 things called anthing but chipmunk, I guess we're all pruning old files out of distfiles by hand right now, but one day we're going to need some kind of `remove anything from /usr/ports/distfiles that's not fetched by ports/Makefile make fetch' sort of functionality, That might be one of the reasons we'd like to keep distfiles/Makefile name space clear from usage by apps.
