Hello,

In reply to a previous discussion about documentation packages and
Docsnap [1], I have created a patch about how to update the
documentation set.  This patch adds a section to the FreeBSD Handbook,
Chapter 24. "Updating and Upgrading FreeBSD".  It describes some methods
for updating, like using CVSup and rebuilding the documentation from
source, and using Docsnap.  Of course, other methods can be added later
on, you can think of it as a stub for such methods.

Please, feel free to review it and comment.

Thank Giorgos, Manolis, Rene, and Tom for the early reviews and
comments, and thanks for further replies in advance.

Cheers,
:g
