Portsnap distributes the ports tree.  The word "build" in the context
of portsnap refers to the process of taking the ports tree, generating
"raw" describes files (from which INDEX files are later "cooked" at
the client side), and squishing everything into the various-sized boxes
which constitute the format in which portsnap distributes everything.
