	(ObRTFM: have you read the "Porters Handbook" chapter of the
Handbook?)
	If it's simply a matter of downloading known files from a fixed
place on the 'Net - i.e. there's no requirement for agreeing to a
license or entering a product code - them I believe the "fetch"
target in bsd.port.mk is your jumping-off point.  Also investigate
the "extract" target.
