Just a few more gripes about the 2.0 package 8)

The sources for kermit and rzsz aren't on the CD; rzsz isn't on the 
FTP site where the makefile goes looking for it either, as far as I 
can tell.

And when the makefile goes and FTP's the files, it tries to put
them in /usr/ports/distfiles, which is a royal pain if you happen to 
have it symlinked to the CD in order to make everything else work.

Ideas?  At the very least, fix it for 2.1 8)

(if there's a better place for me to send these comments, I'd be happy
to do so 8)
