Does someone knowledgeable in the bsd.port.mk black magic have a nice little script that digs through the ports Makefiles and identifies any/all files that are NOT present under distfiles? I think a list of such files could be beneficial on the CD-ROM (at least *I* would be thankful!) as it tells you what files you should grab "quickly" after a release (since I find many ports go "stale" in a short time frame and the distfiles are no longer available at the sites listed). Just MHO... Thx! --don
