I am a little uncomfortable with this.  If I understand this right,
this means the "download" step of a port will succeed, only to have
the "checksum" step fail.  I suspect that will be confusing for
users, and they will then ask about their mysterious file-corruption
problems on the mailing lists.

Or maybe I've just got the wrong idea of what this means...

(the first phase seems perfectly fine to me, of course)
