I'm not sure it's good netizenship to go from the US to Germany to
Australia to Japan to attempt to retrieve a file, when just jumping from
the main archive to wcarchive seems much simpler, and nicer to the worlds
loaded links.

While I realize that wcarchive may be busy, there's no question that
International links are probably the wrong way to go.

# cd lsof
ls
# Makefile      files           patches         pkg
# make
