Edwin Groothuis ec5aae7ae6 New port: net/linux-jigdo
This is a port for the jigdo software, the new method of
	the Debian project to distribute their images. As I have a
	debian mirror on a FreeBSD machine I needed that to generate
	the debian 3.0 iso images here.

	The sources of jigdo are available but do not work out of
	the box, so I decided to go with the static binaries in
	linux-emulation.

Jigsaw Download, or short jigdo, is a tool designed to ease the distribution
of very large files over the internet, for example CD or DVD images. Its aim
is to make downloading the images as easy for users as a click on a direct
download link in a browser, while avoiding all the problems that server
administrators have with hosting such large files.
At the moment this port is only tested to work for building the iso images
of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.
