In this case it doesn't matter -- "a fresh hard drive" and "local
package" implies that the -current packages on ftp.freebsd.org haven't
been built since the bump and are thus slightly out dated.

It doesn't matter as at least Garrett has some changes he's going to make
that aren't compatible. libc.so will be at least at version "5" in
FreeBSD 5.0, so we'll have to go thru this pain eventually anyway.

Huh? Why the worst of both worlds??

I'm not quite sure what isn't together other than no compat4x libc.so.4
yet -- I can certainly create one, but I'll have to update it for the
libc.so.4 in 4.3 and 4.4. Don't forget the compat libs are uuencoded
files, so CVS will see large diffs. If people don't mind, I'll certainly
make the compat libs now.
