I think your trying to be way to clever here - why cant you just:

cd /usr/pkgsrc/x11/kde2
make fetch-list > list-of-files-to-fetch.sh

[wait ages]

sh -x list-of-files-to-fetch.sh

and then re-run 'sh -x list-of-files-to-fetch.sh' when it breaks.

the list-of-files-to-fetch.sh will check to see if a file exists before
fetching it.

Probably the eaisiest way to run it under windows is to install the cygwin
stuff:

http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/

and use bash instead of sh.

N.B. i havn't tried the above, your mileage may vairy.
