Well, I think Handbook is a bit vague on this. It does say that "the old way"
should be used when the source haven't been updated. But since I alway cvsup
my sourcetree prior to a kernelbuild (and subsequent make world) this really
doesn't apply. "The new way" should be fine for me, but alas, isn't.
