I've tried DISTFILES+=file and SITES.file=http://somesite, but then the main package file isn't put in distinfo. I tried doing it "manually" in post-fetch/pre-configure stages, but I don't know if I'm setting up the command correctly. I'd just put a local copy in files/, but would like to be using the most current version.

DISTFILES=	${DEFAULT_DISTFILES} file
