That's quite a hectic bar to entry.

It means that folks with no JDK must:

1) Install linux-sun-jdk14.
2) CVS update port to 1.4.1.
3) Install jdk14.
4) CVS update port to 1.4.2
5) Install jdk14.

Step 1 will be handled automatically by step 3, but it's still a LOT of
downloading and installing.  Also, CVSup users can't easily update ports
to specific versions.

:-(
