With regard to fetching has any thought been given on options such
as: make refetch or make forcefetch. The former to continue an
interupted download and the latter to wipe any corrupted downloads
and start again. I know these things can be done by hand but support
in the make files might be more user friendly. Maybe it is possible
for the fetch routines to automatically continue an interupted
download by checking the size of the file retrieved, and
automatically replace corrupted downloads ?
