If someone wants to code the script, I'll look at integrating it with 
FreshPorts.  I don't want to take it on myself.  It'll  need close 
coordination.

There it is!  Good.  Thank you.  Now, what would one display for 
this:

$ less ./pkill/distinfo
MD5 (pkill-current-0.2.tar.gz) = 3afb97226d5d3db791ccaaec80f22dce
SIZE (pkill-current-0.2.tar.gz) = 6287
MD5 (pkill-stable-0.2.tar.gz) = 1c96a2d5d2b75d8c24989f964f8e9d6d
SIZE (pkill-stable-0.2.tar.gz) = 6391

Max?  Min?  Sum?  ;)
