At runtime.

configure tries to determine the availability of one of four fetch
commands know to the author {fetch,curl,wget,ftp}.  It is then
hard-wired into its custom upgrade script.

Without this and depending on what platform configure was issued on, the
custom upgrade script will end up containing references to WRKDIR.

The question about how useful a custom upgrade script is in context with
pkgsrc is a different issue.  Making it "work" (where running the optional
script implies messing up the pkgsrc installation) was a minor concession
to the author.
