4195ecc3d2 Make the port-specific changelog ($MACHINE/whatis) optional by using .pso
to call a shell script which outputs nothing if the file is not present.

Remove the "whatis" file for ports where it does not contain anything
useful and hasn't been updated for years. OK tsutsui@, hubertf@.

preparation for filling the list of changes between NetBSD 3.0 and 4.0

NetBSD for the xyz platform" replace n by XXX.

64c7b74aad PR/13749 - Incorrect options specified for dd(1) in tape installs.
Cleanup dd options accordingly to the following policy:
    1) put if, of, bs, conv in this order
    2) for reading/writing from/to disk don't use sync
    4) reading from tape - use sync
    3) writing to tape - use osync

Noted by Don Yuniskis (auryn at gci-net.com) via install/13749. Thanks!

a5c0fa3864 Based on feedback (various), remove the .toc files from CVS,
and instead generate them each and every time (twice!).
Based on a suggestion from Alan Barrett, allow setting MAKETOC=no
to permit rebuilding the install notes without regenerating the
.toc files, to allow more speedy debugging of markup changes.
