manual distfiles

[Kent Hauser]

Hi,

Is there some reason that "manual" distfiles can't be segragated from the 
"redistributable" distfiles?

When I clean up my distfiles directory, I like to save the manually retrieved 
ones (eg netscape, staroffice, realplayer). Having them in the general 
population means I sometimes remove them and have to manually retrieve them 
again when upgrading.

It seems to me that a "man" subdirectory (analogous to "xc" or "rpm") would 
integrate flawlessly and allow these *precious* downloads to be easily 
preserved.

Just a thought.
