The fact that we can't put a binary pkg for some piece of software up
for anon-ftp is not an argument against a binary pkg.  We can't do that
for all the packages that contain crypto code, either.  Also, binary pkgs
are useful for internal use too.

How do you know?

Anyway, if you don't care, you can just go to /usr/pkgsrc, "make
install" and you won't notice the difference.

Personally, I don't see why I should have to upgrade postgresql just
because tcl got upgraded.
