Great, thanks for confirming that.

That would be hrs' idea, but I like it too :)

So I've made distfiles from RELENG_5_4 build with locale tweak for alpha, 
amd64, i386 and sparc64. Here's the port:

http://agrajag.ijs.si/tinderbox/stuff/compat5/compat5x-port-5.4.0.6.tar.bz2

and the distfiles (though fetching through the port should work as well):

http://agrajag.ijs.si/tinderbox/stuff/compat5/compat5x-alpha-5.4.0.6.tar.bz2
http://agrajag.ijs.si/tinderbox/stuff/compat5/compat5x-amd64-5.4.0.6.tar.bz2
http://agrajag.ijs.si/tinderbox/stuff/compat5/compat5x-i386-5.4.0.6.tar.bz2
http://agrajag.ijs.si/tinderbox/stuff/compat5/compat5x-sparc64-5.4.0.6.tar.bz2

Kris, is this in general direction of what you had in mind? The final 
distfiles should probably come from more official source, but cperciva's 
freebsd-update that Brooks mentioned is i386 only. This can perhaps be used 
temporarily to run tests on pointyhat though.
I checked lang/ghc and it compiled (after adding dependency) and 
security/drweb also works with this.
Oh, the version 5.4.0.6 is supposed to reflect 5.4-p6 while still allowing 
things like 5.2.1-p3, is there a better way to compose a version string?
