As I understand it the recommended way is to remove some or all
of the manifests in the manifests/ directory and then do make world.
An absent manifest won't cause the component to be built from scratch,
but (I think) will cause it to be updated, so
% cvs update
% rm manifests/*
% make world
is the way to do it? Someone (Norman) will correct me if I'm wrong.
