I did not meant to say that the tools provided in COIN are not "stable" 
themselves (even if they are evolving quickly), just that there is no 
*non-changing* tarball of COIN available on coin-or.org which would 
enable to make a FreeBSD port: I can't make a port that fetches a 
different source tarball every day, nor a port that checkout a CVS 
repository, nor I can host such a tarball myself.

Sorry if it was not clear.
