All my boxes should be able to build.

This way, I get to make the package, oh wait, every sub-package dependancy,
on ONE 3.5-RELEASE box, and then go back and install the packages on my OTHER
3.5 box, when I should be able to "upgrade" the other 3.5 box to make its own
darned port installs in the first place, as it works on the other 3.5 boxes
that I installed the "upgrade" package on before it was revoked from
www.freebsd.org/ports/

===>  postfix-20010228.1 : Your system is too old to use this bsd.port.mk. You
need a fresh make world or an upgrade kit. Please go to
http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ or a mirror site and follow the instructions.

I go to http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ and I'm told that 3.x is no longer
supported.  Okay, that's fine with me, but where's the upgrade package that
worked to fix my other 3.5-RELEASE boxen? :<
