When the checksum of a distfile changes, there is a considerable risk
that someone may have trojaned the distfile.  As a port maintainer,
you are exptected to verify that this is not the case before updating
the checksum in distinfo.  You are also expected to summarize the
reason for the changed checksum in the commit message so that The Rest
Of Us[tm] can rest assured that you have indeed verified that the
distfile was not trojaned.
