As an aside, I notice you do this often and I thought I would let you
know that you don't need to.  All deleting distfiles does it make you
wait for things to download again.  Packages is a little bit more
subtle.  A port actually looks for the package cookie in the work dir
(/usr/mports/some/port/work/.package_done), not the package itself.

All you need to do to create a fresh starting environment for a port
is make clean.  This will delete the work dir and all the cookies in
it.

Ohh, and I'm working on the aspell port.

Thanks as always.
