What about a small package that was nothing more than the parts necessary for a "make config" and graphical variants, a specially-written ftp client (which would do an automatic anon login and passwd, get files, and then exit), and a script generated from .config to automatically download the necessary parts using the ftp client? This could be called "make config_ftp" or some such. It could make a log file containing the currently installed parts, so that subsequent runs of "make config_ftp" would only get the missing parts. Then, an intermediary "make unpack" to unpack the collected sources.
