Can I make the following suggestion?

Could we add the following to bsd.port.mk (if there are other sites, they
should be added also...):

MASTER_SITE_COMP_SOURCES_MISC+=
	ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/usenet/comp.sources.misc/%SUBDIR%/ \
	ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/comp.sources.misc/%SUBDIR%/ \
	ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/comp.sources.misc/%SUBDIR%/

MASTER_SITE_COMP_SOURCES_UNIX+=
	ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/usenet/comp.sources.unix/%SUBDIR%/ \
	ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/comp.sources.unix/%SUBDIR%/ \
	ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/comp.sources.unix/%SUBDIR%/

I'm not sure if we also want to add the following:

	comp.sources.games, comp.sources.reviewed, comp.sources.x

Thanks,
-SR
