Yeah, that's what bit me. What a terrible design. Shouldn't it at
least barf if the filename I ask for is different from the one it
provides? Anyway, I'm grabbing from
http://main.slony.info/downloads/$SLMAJ.$SLMIN/source/$SLTARBALL
now.

In case there's a general interest, this is for a script which
downloads and builds postgres + slony1. I'm trying to address the
frustration I have with the FreeBSD ports in that they want to be
installed in default locations and don't seem to like having multiple
binaries installed concurrently.
