The distfile to which our package relates is different to the one on
sourceforge.  The alternatives are thus to:  (a) use the distfile on
sourceforge, and update the package according to what has been changed
in the meantime (and for which I'm not qualified), or (b) continue to
use the distfile that is in place on ftp.netbsd.org.  I have not had
good experience downloading distfiles from sourceforge recently (and I
have downloaded a lot of them), and so I chose to use ftp.netbsd.org.
