fetch aliases?

[Darren Weber]

OK, so all the files and checksums are in the variant (using append
clauses), but the extract phase should not work on these data files.  Will
something like this work:

variant somedata {
   master_sites-append http://extraDataFileURL/
   distfiles-append  aBunchOfDataFiles
   checksums-append  yadda yadda ;-)
   extract {}
   post-destroot {
       # use tar on the $distfiles to extract all the data somewhere useful
   }
}

Thanks in advance,
Darren
