Comment (by kencu):

 I think I know why you had trouble downloading the distfile from the
 original source -- you are using a stock install of MacPorts that has no
 upgraded SSL capability, and so you likely couldn't get the file from the
 upstream server -- and it wasn't mirrored in the botan1 directory.

 When you install MacPorts, it is built against the SSL system in /usr/lib
 -- which is ancient, and too old to be useful. Ryan mirrors all the
 distfiles on a server with very old security, so you can get them from
 there.

 There is.a way to build MacPorts against a current SSL subsystem, which is
 what I do, and that avoids this issue.
