Thanks for the heads up.  I think I see what's going on here.  Perforce
seems to be rebuilding those zip files with a cron job that runs once per
day or so.  The file content of the zipped files hasn't changed since
1-Feb, but all of their timestamps have.  This asinine behavior is going to
make it impossible for ports to verify the checksum, though we can still
verify the file size.  I'll try to teach the port to do that.
