 FETCH_USING should not be used in Makefiles because it is user's
 variable and normally set in mk.conf. If user sets FETCH_USING in
 mk.conf (I do!), this value will override package's "curl", for example,
 used for fetching distfiles over https. I don't think "So don't use
 https-only services. Problem solved." is a real solution, however. We
 really need a better one.
