to add support for automatically determining the closest
master site and fetching from there!
<p>If your the original tarball is part of one of the following
popular archives: X-contrib, GNU, Perl CPAN, TeX CTAN, or
Linux Sunsite, you refer to those sites in an easy compack
form using MASTER_SITE_XCONTRIB, MASTER_SITE_GNU,
MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN, MASTER_SITE_TEX_CTAN, and
MASTER_SITE_SUNSITE. Simply set MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR to the path
with in the archive. Here is an example:
<tscreen><verb>
MASTER_SITES= ${MASTER_SITE_XCONTRIB}
MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR= applications
</verb></tscreen>
<p>The user can also set the MASTER_SITE_* variables in
<tt>/etc/make.conf</tt> to override our choices, and use their
favorate mirrors of these popular archives instead.
