I could easily mirror the distfile. But i'm unsure where to add the
entry. There is an entry MASTER_SITE_NETLIB in
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.sites.mk, which definies the url for the distfiles.
But if i understand correctly, the MASTER_SITES listed there provide
every file from Netlib, not just the single distfile.
So how could i add my mirror http://ports.toco-domains.de/fdfpp.tgz to
the port?
