Cool trick!

Hmm, except for the fact that that's the filename that ends up on the user's system, and on the mirror; see:

http://distfiles.macports.org/gtkimageview/

See attached patch for a better solution.

<gtkimageview.diff>

By the way, shouldn't it be better to create a new variable `fetchfiles` which would replace the default mechanism offered with master_sites distname extract.suffix and all? Tricky ports like this one would just have to write the url of the file(s) to fetch in `fetchfiles`.

I'm not seeing how "fetchfiles" would work, in all the variations that we have to support (one or multiple distfiles, on one or multiple master sites).

I'm comfortable with the workaround presented in my patch. It's used by several ports already. We could document it in the Guide and in that way make it an official recommendation for this situation (when downloading through a server-side script instead of just downloading from a server directory).
