Ask, and verily, ye shall receive.

http://tinderbox.lovett.com/patches/create_new.patch

adds two extra flags to both create_new_jail and create_new_portstree

-C
	turn on compression in the cvsup file (default off)
-H <host>
	use <host> as the cvsup host (default cvsup12.FreeBSD.org)

On my many list of tinderbox things-to-do is to combine all the
create/update/build functionality for jails, portstrees and builds (but
not actual tinderbuild) into a single, more logical, file.
