FWIW, checkout of these things took 5+hrs, staying on the local
.freebsd.org net w/o hitting the 'net at all.
As promised,
$ time cvs ci
real 67m51.701s
user 0m1.250s
sys 0m5.345s
set, so mark them with MANCOMPRESSED=no. Note that this requires the
new bsd.port.mk that is not committed yet (going through final tests,
will be committed in a few hours).
