>Description:
One must update Porters Handbook to explain how to convert sourceforge download link for use in ports Makefiles...

So far, when I was porting something from sourceforge writing correct download URL was the biggest, problem....

There is absolutely no information about this.

Yesterday, for the first time, I saw information, that actually helped me to port app.

It was javascript by amdmi3@
http://userscripts.org/scripts/review/50136

After I looked at this script, it was finally clear to me, how to convert Stupid Sourceforge URL's

A colourful example would probably be the best (since not everyone know regexp)


I Set severity "serious" and priority "High", because I think this info will help many new porters... and maybe even old porters.

State-Changed-Why:  
I'm not sure what kind of documentation you expect to exist in PH on this 
topic. I have writted some basic introduction into the new MASTER_SITES macros, 
see here 

http://hood.oook.cz/porters-handbook/makefile-distfiles.html#AEN1507 

Do you have other ideas what to add?
