This is a ridiculous proposition, you wanting me to spend about 500 to
1000 Euro, just to make your life easier. If you can't fix typo's when
they occur, you shouldn't be running current. If you can't remember the
command	'cvs -D yesterday update' you should not be running current. If
you do 'make world; reboot' instead of 'make world && reboot' you
should not be running current. If you don't eyeball the commits that go
into relevant parts of the kernl and userland, you should not be running
current. If you can't spend an hour or more a week fixing other people's
faults, you should not be running current.

Submission of a tiny little patch that unbreaks world has _created_ more
committers than that it scared away.

P.S.: I use a 32Mb/200 Mhz machine with about 500Mb to a gig over NFS
for development. That is perfectly sufficient for development even if a 
make world takes 7 hours.
