Comment:

 I asked on the spatialite discussion group whether we could manually
 mirror the distfile or at least manually put it on the buildbot machines
 so that we could build and distribute binaries.

 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/spatialite-users/vwf3Q22HpgU

 The developers have not responded to these questions. I did then put the
 distfile on the build machines manually and trigger builds for spatialite,
 so binaries are now available for those OS versions for which the build
 machines are online.

 The spatialite license should permit us to distribute the source as well,
 so I've now placed the source tarball on our distfiles server too.

 If the port needs to be updated to an even newer pre-release commit, let
 me know so I can manually mirror that distfile too.
