But, this assumes that someone will cvsup ports-base or ports-all.
ports-base includes a lot of crap that does not need to be installed
on a machine to simply build a port.  Oh well, one more refuse file to
remember to update as crap gets added to ports-base.

troutmask:kargl[208] cat /usr/sup/ports-base/refuse
*.cvsignore*
*INDEX*
*LEGAL*
*Makefile*
*README*
*Templates*
*Tools*
*YEAR2000*

At the very least, a separate cvsup collection that includes only
Mk should be established.
