>Description:
When buying electronic music from Amazon, one is required to 
download a so-called .amz-file, which in essence is a download
list. This file is necessary to conduct the download of purchased
music, for which a propriatary program from Amazon is required.
This program is available for Windows and Ubuntu Linux, but not
for FreeBSD. net/clamz redresses that situation.

However, before being able to download the .amz, one is required
to install said propriatary program, which sets a cookie that
allows to download amz-files. This is infeasible for users of
FreeBSD.

On the project site of net/clamz, an alternative to downloading
said program is presented, which in essence is an alternative way
to have aformentioned cookie set.
Instructions on how to  find the information on the project site
should be presented by pkg-message, which I hereby include.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Include pkg-message into port from attached patch.

Attached patch was created from diff -r after `touch`ing /usr/ports/net/clamz/pkg-message


Patch attached with submission follows:

diff -r /usr/ports/net/clamz/pkg-message /usr/home/cjr/tmp/clamz/pkg-message

> Not having the cookie set, users will fail to download Amazon .amz files
> to download albums and are presented with information on how to download
> amz-downloaders other than clamz.
