Almost identical, but not identical.  They're not tied together
any more, like they used to be.  I.e., supfilesrv (where it's still
running at all) no longer uses the same config files as cvsupd.
I don't really want them tied together.  The CVSup mirrors are set
up now so that if I add a new collection on freefall, it automagically
propagates to all the mirrors -- the mirror maintainers don't have
to do a thing.  With sup, you get whatever a particular mirror
maintainer happened to remember to add.

I can fix that.

Add it to cvsup.sgml first. :-)

I feel the same way about it.  You're not going to see me investing
much time keeping the sup stuff up to date, that's for sure.
