Move the DYNAMIC_MASTER_SITES explanation into it's own subsection of

Browse source 
Section 10, and also explain there about _FETCH_MESSAGE. There are a few
things in Section 10 which would probably be better in Section 2, but that
would entail some major churning, which I'm not prepared to do.

Put these distfiles into /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles.
If you need to download from a dynamic URL you can set DYNAMIC_MASTER_SITES

=====================================================================
If you need to download from a dynamic URL you can set DYNAMIC_MASTER_SITES
and a 'make fetch' will call files/getsite.sh with the name of each file
to download as an argument, expecting it to output the URL of the directory
from which to download it. graphics/ns-cult3d is an example of this usage.
If the download can't be automated, because the user must submit personal
information to apply for a password, or must pay for the source, or whatever,
you can set _FETCH_MESSAGE to a macro which displays a message explaining
the situation. _FETCH_MESSAGE must be executable shell commands, not just a
message. (Generally, it executes ${ECHO}). As of this writing, the following
packages use this: audio/realplayer, cad/simian, devel/ipv6socket,
emulators/vmare-module, fonts/acroread-jpnfont, sysutils/storage-manager,
www/ap-aolserver, www/openacs. Try to be consistent with them.
