master_sites and opendarwin (was: Re: SDL_Perl installing troubles!)

	I hadn't actually read this ticket when I replied to this thread,  
but now that I did I can say that's another proof that we need to  
move to a per port naming basis for our distfiles section. True that  
we can always add "macports:<user>" as the master_site, but the  
output in the ticket emphasizes once again that MacPorts is going  
straight to /distfiles/<portname> in our svn (and failing after  
trying three different combinations, each one with portname in them).  
I think this make sense from the distribution POV, it's more logical  
to look in /distfiles/<project_name> for something related to the  
project in question rather than in /distfiles/ 
<name_of_some_user_who_had_the_idea_of_uploading_this_particular_file_to 
_his_privately_named_directory> ;-)

	So maintainers, can we please start the move? Regards,...

PS: All you'll need to fetch from our distfiles is "macports" as your  
master_site in our Portfile, whereas if you keep the distfile in a  
user named directory you'll have to explicitly direct the fetch proc  
there through "macports:<name_of_user>". I believe the former is  
simpler.
