Is there a good way to make sup more robust over slow or lossy networks?
There's an overloaded router between be and sup.netbsd.org which drops
packets...  About one in 8, I'd guess.

For that matter, any chance of making updates occur in blocks of, say,
16 or so files, so fewer back-and-forth things happen?  A streaming
protocol would be much faster, if slightly (hah!) higher in traffic.
