I see the advantage in this.  However, I think that if we are going to
do it this way, then all ports that fetch more than one file would have
to have their own directory.  Is this a good thing?  I like being able
to just quickly go through the distfiles dirctory and pick out files
that I have more than one version of and delete them.
