Thanks Erik, that's exactly what I needed.

For anyone else interested:

In the general case, going to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi and 
following the tree to the source file of interest shows a list of all 
versions since primordial releases.  Diffs (in color no less) are only a 
click away.
