Thus spake Will Andrews (andrews@TECHNOLOGIST.COM):

Please see ports/12325 (one of my first PR's).
I think, the patch won't apply anymore, but you'll get the feeling how
things can work.
However, if you want to put your hands on it, please do the following:
After:
+ ${ECHO_MSG} ">> Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this";\
+ ${ECHO_MSG} ">> port manually into ${_DISTDIR} and try again."; \
add a "touch WRKDIR/.re-fetch.done" cookie.
And then, next time the port is fetched, it is looked, if that cookie
exists. If that is the case, there is no need to refetch.
Only if it doesn't exist, re-try fetching.
Why? Well, I've got some comments, that it should not retrieve again
and again, if it already tried to refetch some minutes/days/etc ago
(i.e. the file is not truncated, but just w/ a wrong checksum!).
Alex
