Hi!

I've some suggestions for managing the distfiles:

- A possibility for fetching _all_ distfiles.
  (When only one distfile is not available via FTP the fetch
   break with error's. The fetch shouldn't stop and should try to retreive the
   other distfiles...)

- A possibility to disable the build of depending packages during the fetch.

- A possibility to exclude categories in the fetch.

- A "make checkdist" (for example) to check which distfiles are out-of-date.


Boris
