5.2.1 is pretty old by now, and there have been considerable improvements -
modules, etc. - since. It's probably best to follow RELENG_5 right now,
although there are rumors [1] that updating _right now_ might be a bad idea
(something to do with the scheduler?).
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5
is, I believe, the right supfile syntax.
[1] Dammit, I know I ought to read -current as well, but there's only so many
high-volume lists a guy can plow through.
