(I filed part of this under PR 16693.)

I noticed when trying to build galeon that it didn't retrieve correct
source download. It just grabbed a HTML page. So I manually went to URL of
tar file and I received an HTML page for the mirrors.

So I tried another MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE -- blackbox and it failed.
www/tidy worked.

So broken:

DISTNAME=       blackbox-0.62.1
CATEGORIES=     x11 wm
MASTER_SITES=   ${MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE:=blackboxwm/}

Works:

DISTNAME=       tidy_src_020307
PKGNAME=        tidy-20020307
WRKSRC=         ${WRKDIR}/tidy
CATEGORIES=     www
MASTER_SITES=   http://tidy.sourceforge.net/src/ \
                http://tidy.sourceforge.net/docs/ \
                http://tidy.sourceforge.net/src/old/
EXTRACT_SUFX=   .tgz


So I am guessing a lot more may be broken too.

Then I see maybe just http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ is changed.
Because (for blackbox)
 make MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE=http://ftp1.sourceforge.net/
worked.

Maybe http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ can be removed from
MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE list in mk/bsd.pkg.mk, but I don't know if other
sites are going to change too.

(I do recall reading some announcement about sf.net needing some mirrors.)
