Yeah, brainstorming. Maybe 3 stages of "ports" 1) a nothing downloaded
version that does cvsup (of the port) for the first time when it
needs be installed (minimalist), 2) a description version which keeps
info current on disk for handy searching, and pulls the patch etc as
needed, and 3) full version, which could come in handy if cvs server is
unavailable but source location is...
