>Description:

I haven't tested FreeBSD Update's RSA code on non-i386 platforms, and I 
don't want people relying upon this until I've had a chance to do that 
testing.  Since nobody (AFAIK) is building binary updates for use with 
FreeBSD Update on non-i386 platforms, this shouldn't inconvenience anyone.

Also, add a note reminding people not to touch this port.

+# The RSA code has only been tested on i386; I don't *think* there are
+# any word-size or endian issues, but I'm not sure.  Since nobody is 
+# building updates for non-i386 platforms anyway, this won't hurt anyone.
