Well, that really is the obvious answer.  :-)
It never occurred to me to use pre-fetch to do an actual fetch.

I think xpmicons may be a bit tricky, as it has 14 DISTFILES and many
MASTER_SITES (and some of the DISTFILES are no longer available on any of the
MASTER_SITES listed, and one of the MASTER_SITES is apparently dead, ....).
But I will take a flyer at it (probably on the weekend) and post back with
some proposed fixes.

Thanks,
