Comment (by ryandesign at macports.org):

 When changing portfile checksums because an upstream distfile changed
 without the filename changing, you must also change the dist_subdir so
 that the new distfile goes to a different place than the old file.
 Otherwise users who had the existing distfile downloaded already will get
 a checksum error. Now that we have a [http://distfiles.macports.org/
 distfiles mirror], it's even more important to ensure each unique distfile
 gets a unique location in the distfiles directory. Otherwise the distfiles
 mirror doesn't get updated either.

 If the new distfile is not just a repackaging, but actually causes
 different files to be installed, then you must also Increase the port
 revision. I can confirm by comparing the old and new distfiles that there
 are hundreds of lines of diffs.

 I increased the port revision and changed the dist_subdir in r37443.
