If you compiled the vesion you have now, it is exactly the same. If you
used a package (rpm, deb, etc) then you will have to compile this time.
Just follow the howto, and but use the cvs.sql rather than mc.sql
database script.

I doubt Isaac is interested in the extra work involved. Plus that would
mean the releases are less stable and well tested. But it you want a
weekly release, go ahead and update to cvs once a week! It wouldn't be
any different.
