Short for experimental, though the other are good possibilities
sometimes as well :-)

Someone prepares a patch against the ports and/or src tree, which
someone from portmgr applies on the pointyhat cluster.  Pointyhat and
tinderbox do share a lot of code, but are separate systems.  The (quite
detailed, not so much high-level overview) documentation is in the
portbuild article[1].  Note that the new codebase mentioned there has moved
to projects/ in svn.
