update from 7.0 to 7.2?

[Erich Dollansky]

Hi,

my general concept is not to stick with the releases but to keep 
the kernel on the current development like using RELENG_7 for 
CVS.

You will notice that HAL and DBUS changed. I noticed because of 
this real speed improvements on a slower machine.

Anyway, if this server runs mail and web pages, it is public 
available and so prone to attacks. So, make sure that you have 
the security updates installed.
