Why is this?  And why are you updating every time there is a rev bump?

It almost sounds like you're recompiling everything just for the heck of 
it, though I don't get how even that takes 48 hours.  Even make 
buildworld is done in multi-user mode and so you could use your 
workstation during the build.  And we're talking about ports here so ...

Just curious!
