freebsd-update is a binary update tool which is typically used to do
binary updates, e.g. 6.1-p9 -> 6.1-p10, etc.  I'm not sure whether it's
on Colin's world domination plan to have a src/ update as well :-)

I think the base version of freebsd-update would be ready (with
update.FreeBSD.org, of course) at the time we will release 6.2-R.
