You either look at the output of cvsup -L 2 and update the affected bits
by hand, or you ``make world'' if you're as lazy as the rest of us.
There's no automated mechanism for only building updated bits.

Some people may tell you to ``make -DNOCLEAN world''. These people are
confused about what NOCLEAN is for and I urge you to find out exactly
what the implications are before listening to them.

No. The update target is just a mechanism to allow you to update your
source tree conveniently. It's not much more convenient than running
cvsup, and you'll need to play with settings in your /etc/make.conf to
make it work. Probably not worth worrying about.

Hope this helps. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
