Um, by "not easy", I meant yeah, you can "make world" if you have the
disk space for the whole thing or "make something install; make
anotherthing install" if you know what has changed since your version
came out.  But it is much harder than having a port that takes care of 
it for you, no? ;)

 * 						       Is sup still the best

Or you can use ctm, it will send you patches by mail and automatically 
update your system.  I thought this was mentioned in the FAQ somewhere 
too.
