You have to get it into binary first.  EZM3 is not available on many 
non-FreeBSD, non-Intel platforms.  Although it's used *primarily* by the 
FreeBSD project, it seems like there would be enough of a demand for such a 
thing that other a portable version would be readily adopted by other 
projects.

I see that there is no cvsup binary package for ia64.  Does M3 build on that 
platform?  Do you suppose that "csup" will when it's finished?
