>Description:
	octave build fails in dependency science/hdf5 thusly:
===>    Verifying install for hdf5 in /usr/ports/science/hdf5
=> hdf5-1.6.6.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist  
in /usr/ports/distfiles/. => Attempting to fetch from
ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/current/src/. fetch:
ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/current/src/hdf5-1.6.6.tar.gz: File
unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) => Attempting to
fetch from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/.
fetch:
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/hdf5-1.6.6.tar.gz:
File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) => Couldn't
fetch it - please try to retrieve this => port manually
into /usr/ports/distfiles/ and try again. *** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/science/hdf5.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/math/octave.

>How-To-Repeat:
	cd /usr/ports/math/octave; sudo make build
>Fix:
	The required file has been moved on the up-stream server
from ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/current/src/hdf5-1.6.6.tar.gz
	to
	ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/prev-releases/hdf5-1.6.6/src/hdf5-1.6.6.tar.gz

	So the work-around is to fetch that file to
	ports/distfiles manually, and restart the build.  The
	correct answer is probably to update the science/hdf5
	port to build the new "current" version, which seems to
	be hdf5-1.8.0.tar.gz
