This isn't quite as simple as I'd hoped it'd be to fix. Here's my
findings thus far (I haven't started writing my script yet, but I will

1. /usr/ports/distfiles contains everything I need
2. distfiles contains several versions of some packages, but that's
pretty trivial to resolve.

Yes, you're right. On all counts, I'm afraid.
But, yes, ultimately. And the more I'm reading man pages, the more I'm
