	You probably want to run a 'make install' in /usr/src/share/mk

	Download the toplevel Makefile from
	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/Makefile

	cvs is available as part of 'othersrc'. Its used by people
	committing to the tree, and is a useful tool if you are planning
	on maintaining local changes to a source tree, but its not needed
	if all you plan to do is tract -current.

	The best place to look would be in:
	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/sup/
