I just noticed that this breaks a convinince for developers. Because
wheny ou update an info file _without_ adding the MD5 sum (which you
presumably do not know by then) the download loop falsely assumes you
got the wrong file. So you end up "quitting" typing fink build foo
again, soy ou get the right loop this time.
