f602b36021 Somewhat formalize the "multiple 'latest' versions" entities hack 
of doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml rev 1.509 by moving
the entity definitions to the place where we define all the other
version number entities.  This makes it far more likely that they'll
be updated correctly during version number bumps.

9ad4236250 Add a warning about always updating the ports-base subcollection 
whenever any part of the Ports Collection is updated to the CVSup
chapter of the Handbook.

Add a similar Q&A to the 'User Applications' section of the FAQ,
with the answer referencing the warning in the Handbook.

45ba1e4cea In port upgrading FAQ: Note that pkg_version(1) in FreeBSD 5.0 and 
later does not (and will not) support the -c option.  One other minor
wording tweak while I'm here.

02c25dba99 "Fix" the FAQ so that it can deal with the concept of two "latest" 
releases of FreeBSD (at the moment, 4.7 and 5.0).

This is a hack.  It really needs to be fixed to be more generalized
and so that this concept can be used in documents other than the FAQ.

But at least for now, we don't say weird things like "5.0-RELEASE is
the latest release from the 4-STABLE branch".
