Even automated tools can be prone to that mistake. I think either we need to make the bootstrapper be silent and forward the command to the downloaded version (kind of surprising... what is taking so long??) (and higher risk to rush in right now) or rename as you suggested. But if we rename, when and who runs it? Will we update bsd.port.mk to run it if needed?
