Yes... but eg the first one in the list already is... and fetch will try
each of them, starting with the first. It would be too much user interaction
for a port to require you to manually select a download location, esp if it
means editing the Makefile, after setting USA_RESIDENT correctly.

Second, although you certainly can use RSAREF if you get it from a non-US
source, but you should not, because it is an inferior implementation
to the international version found eg on internat. So you should not use it
if you do not have to... I have to go out on business now, but if no one has
looked into this by the time I return, I will try to investigate things a
bit, and, if necessary, submit a PR.
