This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been

CTM is my humble attempt to get -current out to people beyond TCP/IP
connections. This is for people with dial-up connections and such.
CTM can make a delta from one version to another of a source-tree, in
a efficient and verified way. Even if there are binary files in the
tree. It will even try to make the delta as small as possible.
It is OK with me if you yell "Bloating!" but I'll just forward your email
to some of the happy customers from CTM version 1, and let them tell you
what they think.
I will not put ctm into "make world" yet. For now it is just the logical
way to get the sources out to people who helps me test this.
