Well, dunno, really - I didn't cvsup my ports and tried to build it,
since I'm currently on site at a client where I can only get HTTP
access. I only read about it on the ports mailing list - looks like some
GNU automake fubar to me, wouldn't come too surprising.

I suggest you take the good advice from Chuck and stick with rsync,
which of course *does* synchronize directories and symlinks as well (and
is a very popular solution for such things). 

Simply use rsync's archive mode (see manpage and Chuck's posting,  -a),
which implies -r for recursion. 

Cheers, 
Jan
