Right on.  If anything, I'd like to see the "ports" system continue
its evolution to becoming able to build nearly any component of the
system. (including patched kernel builds and release generation).

One thing I'd like to understand is how to add CVSup and anonCVS
fetching capability.  This would be very useful for constructing
'ports' which  are derived from FreeBSD sources (like an enhanced
userland Ficl).

This capability would also be useful for software like EGCS which has
public anonCVS access.

Cheers,
