I do intend to switch netpbm over to downloading from a GitHub mirror instead, which will leave only a few much simpler cases to deal with, but I'll be sad to see the flexibility of fetching from svn in MacPorts reduced.

With this commit, the whole fetch phase for netpbm would boil down to:

fetch.type          svn
svn.url             http://svn.code.sf.net/p/netpbm/code/
svn.subdirs         advanced userguide

checksums           rmd160  ... \
                    sha256  ... \
                    size    ...
