cool... i will update the port tonight. we do have another problem
though. apparently the db3-latest port, which we were using for
berkeley db, just got removed from the freebsd ports tree (with the
justification that db4 was now the latest, and that no ports were
relying on db3-latest (well, other than mine, which isn't in the tree
yet, so it doesn't count)).

as soon as subversion upgrades to db4, this won't be an issue at all,
but at the moment, even with a new tarball it will be a bit of a pain
to put together a fully functional port.

what i'll most likely do is roll a port that only builds ra_dav, since
the port is mostly useful for downloading a more recent subversion to
do development on, and if you're doing that, you don't really need
ra_local. once you've got a more recent svn, you can get an
appropriate bdb from outside the ports tree.

(i believe the db3 port itself isn't being upgraded to the more recent
db3 that we use because some ports will cease to work with a newer
db3... gotta love software that isn't really backwards compatable
within major versions...)

so as an asside, add my name to the list of people who are asking for
an upgrade to db4 ;-)
