* Those of you who are masocists and also read the CVS commits list(s) will
* have seen a large commit I made earlier to try and fix up most of the
* remaining checksum-less ports. I've mainly left the print directory alone
* 'cos of the problems Jean-Marc has had with the CTAN maintainers
* re-timestamping files in the tarballs making the checksums fail when in
* fact nothing has changed.
Great!
You might want to watch out for xfed, though. It fetches all the
files by itself and tars them up (I think this happens in a couple of
other ports too, as I've seen a bunch of Fortran source in
/usr/ports/distfiles of thud).
Which means depending on the GZIP environment variable, you'll get a
different .tar.gz file.
Or maybe we can add "GZIP=--best" or something before tar...or let tar
spew the file out to stderr and pipe it to gzip -9. In fact, I think
I'm going to do that now. :)

P.S. The relevant line in Makefile....
tar -C ${.CURDIR}/src -czf ${DISTDIR}/${TARFILE} xfed; \
