Hi Matthew,
I am trying to find out which files a port
will try to download.
E.g. JDK14.  The Makefile has parameterised
distfiles and I cant see where the parameters
are resolved. I have looked in the other 
package files and cant see anything.
I while back, when I knew less than nothing about
cvsup, you mentioned that the JDK14 port now used 
a newer file from Sun.  (the '_05' instead of the
'_04' I was looking for)
How did you know the port wanted the newer file ?
And how did you find out the exact name ?
Thanks
Peter
