This goes for all port maintainers: whenever this happens, you should do a
recursive diff against the old and new distfiles to find out exactly
_what_ has changed before committing the new md5.

e.g. in 1998 when the tcp_wrappers master site was compromised and the
distfile trojaned, we would have been caught too if the maintainer had
just blindly committed the new improved checksum.
