MacPorts caching of distfiles [was Re: ntfs-3g 1.1120 source missing]

[William Siegrist]

It would match the layout of the ports in the svn repo and make the  
tree a little more manageable for human consumption. I could see  
providing Apache indexes for the tree so people could browser and grab  
distfiles manually.  But mainly my suggestion was based on matching svn.
