  Aha! It *is* mentioned in <http://www.freebsd.com/handbook>, it's
just not mentioned in *my* handbook (from the 2.1.7 cdrom).  I've
ftp'd the static binary, more or less followed instructions, and am
now happily cvsup'ing to a test directory.  I won't turn it loose on
/usr/src until after I've run dump ;-) I did run into one gotcha
though: it wouldn't recognize the tag RELENG_2_1_7_RELEASE, so I had
to stick with RELENG_2_1_0.

Cheers,

Steve
