Comment:

 Distfiles do tend to stick around in my experience, so I think selfupdate
 will need to rearrange the distfiles directory. Otherwise users would end
 up with distfiles in the wrong place that are not removed by `clean
 --all`.

 Also, this has the side effect of changing the behaviour of dist_subdir.
 Setting it will now only work as expected if all the ports sharing a
 dist_subdir also have the same primary category. Not sure how much of an
 issue this is in practice.
