I have thought of suggesting we import Bzip2 (it is under an MIT/CMU/UCB
license, not GLP) switch from .tgz for packages to .tbz.  But don't care
to fight that battle.  ;-)

I have found the current split of packages between CD #1 and CD #3 to be
a pain.  Ex: ImageMagic on CD #3 depends on stuff on CD #1, which I never seem
to install until ImageMagic demands it.  And my two most used ports, vim5
and mutt are on CD #3 and aren't in sysinstall's listing of ports.
BUT, I don't have any ideas how to do a better job than Steve did.  So I
haven't brought this up before.
