Actually, I just went back and looked at it again. You fetch
"http://...foo.cgi?stuff", then parse that document and fetch a URL out of
it. The file thus retrieved is a tar file which contains (among other
things) the two .tar.gz distfiles that are needed by the package. I think
I can make a script which will do all of this. Could be a while before I
get to it, though...
