I'd like MacPorts to support distfiles in .dmg disk image format, in addition to the .tar.gz, .tar.bz2 and .zip formats currently supported.

I spent some time working on this tonight and came up with an implementation that works for me. It's my first bit of hacking in MacPorts base, though, so I'd appreciate any and all feedback, both on the idea and the implementation.

Here's the ticket, which includes the patch:

Thanks.

I got one comment in the ticket from Maun Suang. Any other comments from anyone? Anyone else interested in this feature? Anyone think this is a bad idea? Anyone indifferent to it?
