This is not generally allowed to happen, since these files are not verified either. What needs to happen is for the port to fetch all necessary files in the do-fetch stage. Unfortunately this makes it more complicated, but otherwise our users are simply better off fetching and installing the files themselves; the port makes it no easier. Chris
