I did a "make distclean" in the ports dir, but it worries me that the  
checksum of this file has changed.  It is just plain bad practice and  
style to re-release a source distribution like that with the exact  
same file name.  It more or less totally defeats the purpose of  
having checksums like this to detect transmission errors and or  
compromised software (like when openssh was hacked a while back).
