But I don't have the bandwith nor the hard disk space
to get everything.  Granted that gigs are cheap nowadays,
if 'src-all' is the only option which is valid then why
all the other options?  If I get just src/sbin, I should 
be able to build src/bin.  If this is not the case, then 
there shouldn't be a 'src-sbin' option.

Whether 'src-all' fixes the problem or not (I will know
in a few hours), there is still the issue of src-sbin 
not compiling.

Allowing users to get only portions they need eases the
load on our precious and strained freebsd servers.
