Shouldn't you have the src-all collection here also?  Getting the
actual sources also just might be useful, you know.

'make release' requires that you have a local copy of the whole cvs
repository. It then checks out a copy of the desired release from the
repository in order to create the release.  If you don't specify a tag
cvsup will fetch the whole repository for you (currently at some
1.5GB). If you specify a tag you will get only the sources with that
tag, which is all that is needed for a normal buildworld. (The normal
source tree is about 300MB in size.)
