There is a lot of information that is IMHO missing on the various
strategies to keep up with and use the Ports Collection (portupgrade,
cvsup, and portsnap all deserve their own sections).  There is a little
bit at the end of the Porter's Handbook but IMHO the PH is too large
anyways, and ought to be reoriented into just something targeted at
maintainers.

What do people think: should this information be in some kind of
expanded section in the Handbook?  Or a separate Article?
