Unfortunately, our corporate firewall blocks anything but http/port80,
https/port443. Thus, neither CVS nor CVSup are an option. in addition, the
install is still running after 24 hours. At this time, the full install churns
slowly against ports/x11-themes.

I'll grab a cvs repository at home, but do not expect results before Tuesday,
since I'm on vacation this weekend.

One more hint: "calcru: runtime went backwards..." pops up once or twice for
each file.
