 * Yea, right, forgot about all this mixed mode subdir stuff, this is another

Ok....

 * _DISTFILE_USE: .USE
 * 	for i in ${DISTPATH}; do \
 :
 * 	done; \
 * 	if [ x"${found_it} != x"true" ]; then \
 * 	    ${MAKE} single_fetch; \
 * 	fi;
 * 
 * fetch checksum extract: _DISTFILE_USE
 * 
 * Since this rolls all three similiar targets into one .USE subroutine
 * there is no duplicated code :-).

There's no duplicated code but it still checks multiple times when the
user types "make".  Well, I guess that's ok....

I think I'll first try to convert the other targets using this .USE
thing (the "skeleton" targets are pretty similar too) and see how it
works.  Thanks....
