* 1) Add an extra option to "fetch", which allows * the expected size of the file to be specified * in "fetch URL" mode. This should be easy to * implement, since fetch already trys to retrieve * the file size for the progress indicator. * * 2) Create "files/sizes" from the makesum target, * unless inhibited in the make file (by adding * the file to IGNOREFILES). * * 3) In the fetch target call fetch with the extra * option that specifies the expected size. I think this is a wonderful idea. If someone can implement it, I'm all for it. Satoshi
