Hi,

I have

FETCH_CMD=            wget -t5 -Y off -c -np --passive-ftp

in my make.conf. It works with most ports ok but recently I've met a problem
with one port - devel/boehm-gc. Looking at its makefile I've found

FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS=    -b

'man fetch' says that

NOTES
     The -b and -t options are no longer supported and will generate warnings.
     They were workarounds for bugs in other OSes which this implementation
     does not trigger.

So it seems that this string is not needed in Makefile of this port. I've
scanned ports tree with grep and it has gave me this output:

./archivers/bzip2/Makefile:FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS=	-b
./audio/kmp3/Makefile:FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS+= -b

./x11-toolkits/tkstep80/Makefile:FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS=	-b
./x11-wm/icepref/Makefile:FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS=	-b

Except one port news/dnews all others actually doesn't need
FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS (according man page of fetch). And I'm not sure if it is
needed even for news/dnews. Maybe just remove FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS from ports
Makefiles?
