cool work... I'd think of a small script to use that page
for wrapping csup and passing on the best and nearest available
mirror (for that of course, plain text/xml output would be
great)... :)

in any case, at least a $FreeBSD$ tag check would be cool in csup:
sometimes it can have quite destructive consequences to get
an outdated source...
