 Eventually I will steal and modify mergeslave to make updating /etc easier.  Now, you can just use "install".  If you are moving between versions it
         http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software/OpenBSD-binary-upgrade/  will install the new kernel and run mergeslave.  You then need to
   reboot, and run it again.  This will mean you are running it on the same
   version kernel as the available sets and it will install a new kernel
   (just in case it needs to be updated) and then extract the available sets.
   
   The proper way use these scripts manually would be to do the following:
           get_sets
           install_kernel
           reboot
           install_sets
           upgrade /etc.  I still need to test mergeslave to see how that works.
