I do not build them with the "ghc-$(ProjectVersion)-boot" (but
"ghc-$(ProjectVersion)") directory similarly to the vanilla Linux
binary packages, thus they can be hardly used for bootstrapping
purposes in the classical way.  Yesterday I repacked all the bootstrap
we have for GHC 6.10.4 (to unbreak lang/ghc), and I got tarballs of
~38 MB each by omitting profiling libraries and documentation.  I
think they should remain compact as possible.  It is easy for me to
build separate bootstraps and vanillas, since I use almost the same
environment for them.  (I would like document the exact process on the
GHC wiki soon.)

I am fine with them (every or every other Saturday, around 19:00 CEST,
#haskell-FreeBSD @ freenode), however this week I might not be able to
make it.
