  that really does make everything a shitload easier, btw.

  ( for -current too, install a snap, then cvs up with the -D
    to a time that seems to make sense corresponding to the
    time of the installed binaries.  it's not a 1:1 match,
    but it probably minimizes chances of fatal discrepancy ).

  since following that method, i've begun to question whether
  or not i really did ever have any problems doing make builds.
  factually, i know that i used to screw little things up all
  the time, but in essence, all of those have become a distant
  memory.
