one way or another, everything needed during build must be fetched via
DISTFILES variable/s, either directly or via what go.port.mk provides.

the tricky bits are finding the right place for the various files (the
originals and the extra ones), and then finding a way to get make to
do that without go.port.mk scrambling your brain.

you can't use pre/post/do-xxx targets separately like that, only as part
of "make patch", "make", "make fake", etc. it's simply not supported.
