Very nice. I just waded through /usr/ports/UPDATING for the 
first time, and seeing your extracting tool immediately after 
that exercise shows me how valuable your tool will be in the 
future. 

It also forced me to learn how to use gunzip and chmod, but 
those were trivial compared to the portupgrade process.
