 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.
