I just realized why what I said above is wrong.  JDP wrote cvsup in
Modula-3, which is itself big enough to choke a horse, so cvsup will not
go into the source tree without a rewrite.  Yes, it's much better, and
static versions (not requiring the modula-3 shared libs) are in incoming
at ftp.freebsd.org.  CVSup will fix many problems with your sources that
sup won't.
