Ahhh, that would solve the problem. Would MP then update the receipt  
file, to indicate that the file is downloaded??

Another question: From the grass dev list, they seem to be moving  
most/all math functions to BLAS/LAPACK. Is there any problem within  
Macports to linking to the Apple supplied accelerate framework? I've  
seen other dependencies that rely on stuff in /usr/bin, ....etc.
