Well, my first naive approach was to simply run "make -DBATCH fetch"
from /usr/ports - which promptly stopped at the first port that was
unfetchable at the moment (of which, there are _many_).

While not disputing that my find-xargs-fetch workaround is the "wrong
thing", what is a "more better" way to snatch as many ports as possible?
