This would be quite easily accomplished by branching the ports tree we have no in CVS. Doing this would accomplish a lot of goals: 1. Make it easier for users to pick up and test new ports 2. Make it easier for the "experimental" trees to keep up to date with the canonical ports tree 3. Allow us to have a "stable" ports tree that users can check out and be reasonably well assured that everything in it will work together safely.
