ifc port

[Dominik Epple]

Hi,

The required procedure is described in the error message when
you try to install the port with missing distfiles. You have
to follow the steps described there step by step.

The servers from Intel are somewhat strange. If you register
a product at the registration page and then login at
premium.intel.com (or whatever its name was - see the Makefile's
message) it takes some time (some minutes, or even an hour) for
premium.intel.com to 'know' that you registered the product at
the registration page. So, create an account, register your
products (mine were already registered anyway) and then some
time later go to premium.intel.com to download the files.

It really works - even if it seems first it wouldn't.

Strange - I did this also while Intel's servers did take time to
communicate and it worked.
