For building from pkgsrc, you could set FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS+= -R in
/etc/mk.conf, but there doesn't seem to be any way to make pkg_add do
the equivalent. Possibly the cleanest way to implement this would be
for "ftp" to accept an environment variable like FTP_ARGS or FTP_REGET.

P.S.: Any chance you could unmime the text of your messages? For me to
reply to you in "pine" requires the extra work of copying and pasting.
