well...there is a simple, deterministic way to go through it.  the
snapshot process doesn't exactly do things in that order, but...

fwiw, i cvs updated on friday evening and finished building a snapshot
this morning (my machine is not slow, i am) with no problems, except
for a little bit of newfs breakage.  that got fixed (rev 1.56) and now
it's all good.  the floppies all fit right out of the box.
