since nobody else chimed in (and since I'm partly to blame for some of 
the shortcomings of buildtool), I'll respond - I'm not aware of any 
means of doing that, without starting from scratch.

The way I always went when I wanted to make sure I was up to date was to 
change the cvs-sourceforge definition in sources.conf to point to my 
local (up to date) cvs checkout (the skeleton for that change is already 
in conf/sources, commented out), remove conf/installed and everything in 
source/, build/ and staging/ and then run
./buildtool.pl build buildenv [+whatever else packages one wants]

I'm not aware of a more efficient way to do that.
