Moving forward, fetch.mk needs to automatically pick something that
handles https urls when one is present. Explicitly setting the fetch
command in affected packages is not scalable.

Also, -current has https support in ftp so nothing special is needed
any more there... which among other things means that unless the
handling is automated we'll never get it fully right.
