 by deprecating using fetch types that pull from revision control systems?

 If we made it 'easy' for maintainers to put a tar.bz2 on the macports
 mirrors, there wouldn't be any reason to have ports in the main repo use
 them (but it's probably still a 'nice' feature for people doing initial
 work on ports, or for ports in their local repos).

 Unfortuantely subversion doesn't support the http_proxy environment
 variable. We could probably patch base to pass an appropriate set of
 --config-option arguments for subversion, I don't know about the others...
