Recently I have noticed that one of the following happens if you
interrupt a fetch during a ports 'make' (say because you have a dialup
and the port is downloading an 18M file):
1. Fetch runs in the background and you have to stop it multiple times.
2. Fetch leaves a truncated file in /usr/ports/distfiles which much
be deleted by hand.
Is there any chance for a return to the old behavior (cntl-C stops
fetch, file deleted) for 4.1? It's a lot friendlier for us dial-up
folk...
