5.2.1 is old and klunky. Update to -CURRENT for an all-around nicer
experience (like, modules, like, cvsup, like, everything). There are even
snapshots available from sesnap - check the recent archives of this list.

For -CURRENT, there is a cvsup package that you can just pkg_add -r.

For -KLUNKY, er, 5.2.1, there is a cvsup package that you can just pkg_add
-r with the right PACKAGESITE - to find out which PACKAGESITE, search the
archives of this list for messages concerned with cvsup (it's somewhere on
David O'Brien's webpages, IIRC).

Get sesnap, that's fastest.

Because the university is dead-set on shooting itself in the foot and
changing its name to something obscure and unpronounceable, all my
personal stuff is moving to fruitsalad.org. This includes KDE amd64.
