From the user's perspective:
* everything is now built outside the source tree (more precisely,
in `pwd`/builddir-${name}/ ) except for the kernel config file(s)
which still need to be copied into src/sys/i386/conf because of
"config" limitations. I am not sure if there is an easy way
to get away from this without changing "config" or replicating
some part of the source tree.
This is really the only change that most users should worry about,
but it is a good one.
* if you do cross-compiles (using "picobsd --src somedir/src [--init] ... ")
then the libraries and include directories etc. are searched/created
in "somedir/usr" ;
* you can do most things (basically build the kernel and the crunched
binary and the filesystem trees) without root privileges. You need
privileges to use mdconfig/vnconfig to create the actual MFS and
floppy image, unfortunately.
* the -v option now prints some diagnostic but does not stop for
user input at each step. You need to specify -v -v to have the
old behaviour.
Internally, the script has been reshuffled quite a bit to support
the above features. Many shell variables have been renamed or
made local in an effort to avoid undesired side effects. There is
a somewhat better error handling in case something goes wrong.
tree. Unfortunately the latter cannot be completely readonly, because
"config" still depends on the kernel config file being in sys/${ARCH}/conf
(it seems to derive other pathnames from that one).
section. Move release notes for tunneling-type drivers from network
protocol section to NICs section for consistency (tap(4) release notes
were combined).
before parsing the command line.
Move code to build include and libraries in a separate function,
so we can use the verbose flag for that.
Chang ownership of some directories so more of the build process
(namely, builds of include and libs) can be run without root
permission (we still depend on root permission to mount a memory
filesystem).
come from the installation document (of the release documentation)
not the readme. The installation document is the one that has the
content of the old FLOPPIES.TXT.

as well. This works by selecting "md" or "vn" depending on "uname -r"
output, so we can use the same script on -CURRENT and -STABLE.
Also included minor bugfixes and code cleanup.
Testers welcome, as this code has only been tested on -STABLE
(and for this reason I am doing an immediate MFC).
move the ID string from a pubdate element into a comment on the
grounds that this document doesn't change rapidly enough to require
that the ID string to actually be rendered in the output.
