	Sounds good. Is there a standard way of updating a source 
directory to a different CVS tag? I use cvsup to track RELENG_5, but 
thought I'd seen someone mention a make incantation here to update a 
single directory (/usr/src/sys/dev/re) to HEAD or another tag.

	More generally (and even more tangentially), is there an SOP 
for keeping patches to cvsupped source? This seems like the kind of 
thing lots of FreeBSD folks do for local patches, but I haven't had 
to do it myself previously. I could add a couple patch commands to my 
cvsup.sh script easily enough, but wonder if there's a better way...
