I know it isn't a good thing to have many copy-and-pasted contents
(set file descriptions etc) in all MD files, but it's much more annoying
to maintain a bunch of .if \n [${MACHINE}] conditionals for all ports
and maintainers rarely notice that they also have to prepare or update
MD contents in MI content file with messy ifdefs.
XXX: of course common text should be shared by mdoc macro etc.
but I doubt playing mdoc(7) is really worth...
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@.
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

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.
- "this is the xxx major release"
- features added and bugs fixed in 1.5
- use .Nx instead of NetBSD
- use .Sq instead of ' [...] ' or ` [ ... ] '
- use .Dq instead of " [...] "
- update for 1.5 (still more MD stuff to check)
- use new macros in ../common/macros as appropriate
- introduce some CONSISTENCY between the various ports' install docs
- use various mdoc macros as appropriate, including .Li, .Pa, .Sy, and .Ic.
- migrate more stuff into ../common/*
- whitespace cleanup
- lots of other little things i'm sure...
* The merged contents file didn't work out, so nuke it and put it back
into each port directory. Most still have the now-pointless conditionals;
these now should be deleted.
* fix alpha, amiga, and arm32 to delete the maze of twisty little conditionals
commandlines for all tar operations. (work supplied by Matt Green)
2) Update arch/*/md.c to deal with new sysinst/run.c. Special case
anything that needs to do a redirect or a pipe.
3) #if 0 some unused code in target.c. This code will need to be updated,
or special cased with do_system.
Big thank you to Matt for all his work on this.
have time to make the install tools handle release.7 layout.
Restore the change mycroft made in revision 1.3 (accidently
removed in my previous commit). Update sizes again.
