Well, I did have OpenBSD in mind.  Right now they update their copy of
FreeBSD source tree with sup (they get the CVS tree).  They are a
little upset that sup has gone away w/o an announcement of that fact,
but in an organization like this, that can't be helped.

That's true.  I just wanna know what the most supported way is at the
moment.  I don't have a problem switching to something else as long as
it has approx the same charactersitics as sup: relatively low latency,
gets the whole tree, etc, etc.  I'm thinking of actually moving it
over to CTM since that is already ported to OpenBSD and I don't have
to worry about porting a large Modula-3 runtime library.  Before I do
that, however, I'd like ot know what the best way to get the sources
daily is so that in 3 months I'm not changing again.
