(prevents spurious warning for mfs /dev, amongst other things)
- for mipsco, news68k, newsmips: ensure that "umask 77" is run after $0.local
- for playstation2: add local) target, and use in all) (for consistency)
become ippp (ISDN ppp) and irip (ISDN raw IP). The character device now
are called: /dev/isdn (isdnd <-> kernel communication), /dev/isdnctl (dialing
and other control), /dev/isdntrc* (tracing), /dev/isdnbchan* (raw B channel
access, i.e. for user land PPP) and /dev/isdntel* (telephone devices, i.e.
for answering machines).
* use "ln -fs foo bar" instead of "rm -f bar; ln -s foo bar"
* remove unnecessary chown root or chgrp wheel directives; older code here
didn't bother doing this, so why be inconsistent
* when making directories, don't use -p and don't redirect stdout to /dev/null
* clean up whitespace
* wrap the main parser code in a function makedev(), and call makedev
instead of "sh $0". (this is a bit faster)
* don't barf when we have fdesc mounted; just skip the devices fdesc provides
(these files should really be automagically generated...)

"pty0 pty1 pty2 pty3" before, for a total of 64 device nodes, we now want
just "pty0" for a total of 62 -- the original commit had "pty0 pty1" for a
total of 124, which ate too many inodes and made "ls /dev" a bit messy.
The openpty() routine has been modified to use the extra pty names
before the "traditional" names, so that programs too dumb to use
openpty() will, hopefully, find one of the "traditional" ptys free
even if many others are in use. The modifications to MAKEDEV are
courtesy Andrew Brown, and are pretty clever: the unit numbers used
by the "traditional" names stay the same, to avoid trouble when
upgrading existing systems. The unusual use of "dd" to index an
array in MAKEDEV is because no other simple method seemed feasible
using only the programs on the install media for all ports.
at the end, and as wscons (actually ttyE0) is required to login on the console,
it is probably better that an out of space MAKEDEV fail on some other device.
