Subject: suggestion: load sources only when prerequisits are met

Right now, when making a package pkgsrc loads the sources and only then
tries to build any missing required packages. If in the subsequent chain
of package builds one fails the source archives have been downloaded
unnecessarily.
Would it be possible to change pkgsrc to only fetch source archives for
a package once all prerequisits are met?
