Use poster from ports to slice it up into smaller parts which later
can be put together using scissors and tape.

It grows a bit though: My 2 columns by 3 rows A4 (to make it A1) was some
17Megs. But quite nice when run through our colour laser! 

I really think this kind of marketing stuff is needed. Perhaps versions
augmented with an URL? There is also the penguin made entirely out of
/usr/src - but using ports may be a more novel and attractive approach?
