 Today I updated the db4 port from version 4.6.21_5 to 4.6.21_6.  I noticed
 that even though the upstream tarball already existed in
 /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/db4/4.6.21_5 from when I installed that
 version, the exact same upstream tarball was downloaded and placed into
 /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/db4/4.6.21_6.  This is both wasteful
 (especially for people on metered connections) and also unnecessarily
 slows the installation process, especially for those on slow connections.
