Hi...I'm trying to understand and use the CVSup program and stay current
with FreeBSD.  I'm reading the handbook on www.freebsd.org and I am thrown
off by the third paragraph on section 18.3.3.2 that seems to say that the
Modula-3 libraries will be compiled and/or installed automatically when I
install the CVSup port.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, so here's a summary of what I've done:
=> installed the system with a minimal install from CDs of 3.2-RELEASE
=> put make on the system (grabbed from ports/distfiles/Mk) to help
install future programs
=> installed BIND (needs to be updated with latest version, i know)
=> system sat idle as other real-life things prioritized ahead (familiar?)
....and today....
=> copied cvsup-16.0.tar.gz from ftp5.freebsd.org to /usr/ports/cvsup/
=> unzipped and untarred
=> cd cvsup-16.0
=> more Announce; more Blurb; more Install (taking notes all the way)
=> make M3FLAGS=-DNOGUI

...and that runs for just a few seconds and dies with:

	m3build: not found
	*** error code 127
	
	Stop.
	*** error code 1
	
	Stop.
	#

Should I grab ports and manually install Modula-3?  I don't find any
listings on the ftp server in the distfiles directory for mod* where I
would expect it...but I'll keep looking.
