As described in the PR, it looks like the tarball is being
auto-generated from files pulled from a CVS repository. Looking at the
tarball, the contents of the CVS directory changes each time the files
are pulled from CVS and tarballed.
It looks like the authors are generating the tarball each night or
almost every night. That is the reason for the size and checksum
change... this also means that having a static size and checksum in
distinfo is going to cause the port to not build in most cases.
For instance, the latest info for the bindtest.tgz file from
ftp://ftp.kame.net/pub/kame/misc/ (which is the first master site listed
in the Makefile) has a modified time of "2005-04-08 20:09:00", a size of
9568 and a different checksum than the one I submitted in the PR.
