For CVSup the malloc comes from modula-3-lib, so it will be the same
whether the package was built on -2.2 or -current.  It's the latest
version of phkmalloc, slightly modified for thread safety.

Regarding other improvements in -current:  The packages use shared
libraries, so you should get the benefits of those improvements simply
by running the program on a -current system.

> Could somebody put -current version there?

I don't really know what to do about this.  I understand your desire
for a package that's made for -current.  But my -current machine
usually isn't adequately up to date for building packages that are
going to be publicly released.  Even when I've done a make world, it
still has X libraries (for example) which are somewhat old.  And of
course -current this week isn't the same as -current next week, so
the packages would need to be updated regularly.
