	I'd assume (danger!) that it would be to roll in any changes to
	the kernel code, driver code, and static libs that get linked
	in.

	Back to /usr/src, is there a way to only d/l, build, and install
	the packages I have installed?  It seems like if I d/l the entire
	/usr/src tree that make world will build and install all of it.  Is
	this true, or is it smart enough to only build what's already
	installed?

	Yes, I could only d/l what I have installed, but there must be some
	kind of automatic way to do this, no?
