Yes, I saw that it was added.  Please don't remove it, but, instead,
add a bit more so the signature will be distributed to all the FreeBSD
distfile mirrors.  These two changes to the Makefile:

 EXTRACT_SUFX=  .tgz
+DISTFILES=     ${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX} ${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX}.sig
+EXTRACT_ONLY=  ${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX}


-USE_GPG=       yes
-SIG_SUFFIX=    .sig
+USE_GPG?=      yes
+SIG_FILES=     ${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX}.sig

will accomplish that.

You're telling me?!  I've been pushing harder than the author of the
patch to get people to use it.  Adding DISTFILES and EXTRACT_ONLY,
which requires SIG_FILES instead of SIG_SUFFIX, causes the FreeBSD
distfile mirrors to cache the signatures.  This is particularly
important with Savannah since it is a single point of failure
(for distfiles and signatures).  Also, it is unlikely the (FreeBSD)
mirror operators will want to enable signature checking (USE_GPG=yes)
during mirroring, thus I have standardized on conditionally setting
USE_GPG[?=yes] instead.  (I don't want NO_GPG and DISABLE_GPG flags
a la NO_SIZE and DISABLE_SIZE.)
