I recently posed a question to ports which in the end said to compile
ports-current if running 2.1.7 RELEASE all I needed to do was grab
bsd.port[.subdir].mk from RELENG_2_2. 

Question is how? I have posed a similar question before and it seems it
should be possible to filter one or two files from a compressed file.

THANX KEVIN
