>Description:
	The distinfo file for math.scilab assumes a DIST_SUBDIR called scilab-3.0
	exists for the distfile.   The Makefile defines no DIST_SUBDIR at all.
>How-To-Repeat:
	cd ..../pkgsrc/math/scilab
	make checksum
			(# no need to remove any old distfiles for this one).

	Eventually you'll see:

	=> No checksum recorded for scilab-3.0.src.tar.gz.
	Make sure the Makefile and checksum file (/usr/src/pkgsrc/math/scilab/distinfo)
	are up to date.  If you want to override this check, type
	"/usr/bin/make NO_CHECKSUM=yes [other args]".

	That's because the distfile has been fetched as distfiles/scilab-3.0.src.tar.gz
	where the distinfo file is expecting distfiles/scilab-3.0/scilab-3.0.src.tar.gz

>Fix:
	Make the Makefile and distinfo file consistent.   Either add a DIST_SUBDIR
	to the Makefile, or change the distinfo file to remove the scilab-3.0
	DIST_SUBDIR it assumes.

	In this case I'd suggest that changing the distinfo file is better, there's
	no need for a DIST_SUBDIR for this package (at the minute) it seems, it has
	just one distfile with a perfectly adequate name & version number in its name.
	What's more, making this change means that people who have already fetched
	the distfile won't have their pkgsrc just go fetch it again.
