Many thanks for building this, Colin.

When I do the update on a 4.8-RELEASE box, should all the files noted 
be replaced?  On my two test machines, only /usr/libexec/sftp-server 
was replaced.  Both machines are running custom kernels, but I've never 
built world or used the free-bsd update before on them.
