IMHO, users would be more interested in the master site where they 
can get the distfiles.  That's why I think using "make master-sites-
all" is the better choice.

What I meant by my statement was: If you think FreshPorts should use 
something other than master-ports-all, I'd welcome your opinion.

Yes, thanks for that.  I appreciate.  bsd.port.mk is often difficult 
to follow.

Ummmm, I didn't say it was broken; I didn't want to give the 
impression I thought it was broken.
