"make checksum" and  "make checksum-recursive" are better since they fetch and 
verify the files, fixing any broken downloads and identifying any checksum 
problems.  These are what portupgrade actually uses with the  -F and -FR 
options, as does Portmaster.

The naming of these targets unfortunately follows implementation, rather than 
the intuition of end-users.
