Yes, I know...in fact, I used to have a hack similar to this in place
of FETCH_DEPENDS (note all three ports that use FETCH_DEPENDS are
mine)....

Well, I thought since there now is a mechanism to do this easier
(easier as in standard Makefile targets and variables), I'd rather use 
it.  Maybe it wasn't such a great idea after all.
