 * To do 'stale' distfile detection, make a copy of bsd.port.mk in
 * the same directory as the 'pib.tcl' file, and add the following lines
 * to the bottom :
 * 
 * list-distfiles:
 *         @echo DIST_SUBDIR ${DIST_SUBDIR}
 *         @echo DISTFILES ${DISTFILES}

This is not the right way to go about it, as many ports have different
distfile sets conditioned on certain variables.  (What happened to
PATCHFILES anyway? :)

I recommend you use files/md5, it is *supposed* to contain all the
stuff that's needed.  (Unless the file can't have a checksum -- maybe
it's time to add "no checksum" line support to files/md5....)
