Oops !!!

And if somebody has changed FETCH_CMD to something more suitable to
their needs ?  I, for example, use a script that calls wget to fetch
files.  I've done this because of the high error rates in my network,
and needed desperately the "retry" and "continue from where stopped"
features of wget.

BTW: bsd.port.mk also has a test in which if fetch is not available,
it will use ftp in url mode:

$Id: bsd.port.mk,v 1.227.2.61 1998/11/14 09:46:12 asami Exp $

.if exists(/usr/bin/fetch)
FETCH_CMD?=     /usr/bin/fetch
#FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS+=    $${CKSIZE:+-S $$CKSIZE}
.else
FETCH_CMD?=     /usr/bin/ftp
.endif

That's where I got the ideia to use wget from.

You should probably test if FETCH_CMD is really /usr/bin/fetch, before
setting FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS to such value.

PS: ftp in url mode could be enough, if it had command line options to
do a reget and to ignore proxies.
