 * While your in there fussing with this one, one other target that I
 * would really like to have is a fetch-list target so I can easily
 * prune out the dead stuff in my /ports/distfile, and or batch up
 * a pile of ncftp's while I sleep to get the ones I don't have and
 * want.

Yes, I was thinking about this one for a while too.  Adding a target
for just printing out the list of default DISTFILES, i.e.,
ftp://site/dir/file.tar.gz stuff is very easy, I can do that tonight
if Jordan doesn't beat me to it.

However, there is another thing that has been bugging me, and that is
that many ports have their own pre-fetch target to grab patch files
available from other sites (and these won't be caught by the target
mentioned above).

We probably would want to add a new rule for this in bsd.port.mk since
so many ports seem to require this and now they all have their own
hack in the Makefiles.  What they are doing are very similar so I
think it should be able to catch them all with one generic rule....
