MASTER_SITES= http://trac.bjourne.webfactional.com/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/ MASTER_SITES_TRAC= http://trac.bjourne.webfactional.com/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/ or something like that. Really the semantics is This MASTER_SITE (http://trac.bjourne.webfactional.com/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/) is really a trac server with attachments, not a regular web server, so use the special trac download rule for it.
