In sec 5.4.2 MASTER_SITES in the porter handbook: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-distfiles.html#AEN1512

the example given is:

MASTER_SITES=         ${MASTER_SITE_GNU}

However, sunpoet@ has just committed my patch
changing my ${IGNORE_MASTER_SITE_XCONTRIB} and
${MASTER_SITE_LOCAL} to:

MASTER_SITES=   XCONTRIB/applications \
                http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/ \
                LOCAL/simon

Are both forms acceptable? Or is the form
given in the porters handbook outdated?
