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.
