since ports are not supposed to be broken during the process of
conversion to ELF -- please proceed with caution.)
(2) Support for checking file size before fetching. The essential
parts are commented out for now, so I won't lose the submission

(3) Don't run "fetch" twice. It was due to the change in checksum
target chaining. It used to be fetch -> checksum -> extract,
after 1.285 it was fetch -> checksum and checksum was also
explicitly called from extract. Fix it by not calling fetch from
checksum when it's invoked by extract.
Noticed by: pre-fetch target of lesstif being run twice
(4) Don't try to remove non-existent distfiles and patchfiles in
distclean.
