the size of the rendered release notes. By default, any element with
a role="historic" attribute won't get rendered in the output unless
the INCLUDE_HISTORIC Makefile variable is defined.
the release notes compare 5.0-CURRENT to 4.0-RELEASE, but in at least
one place it is beneficial to mention the last stable release of
FreeBSD (4.5-RELEASE).

notes build. Instead of having doc.relnotes.mk make a guess, hardcode
quite a bit (but as little as possible) in Makefile.inc's sprinkled
strategicly throughout the tree. This has the advantage of actually
working properly (which is a Good Thing(tm)), and the disadvantages of
more files in the repository and more hardcoded paths (which are both
Bad Things(tm)).
version control information that is different from the rest of their
containing document (or at least other sections). For release notes
only, allow output of <sect1info><pubdate></pubdate></sect1info>
text, and add it to three sections of RELNOTESng where it's kind of
important ("What's New" in the release notes, "Supported Device" in
the arch-independent hardware list, and the processors section of the
alpha hardware list).
stylesheets (particularly with respect to translations) is now similar
to that of the doc/ tree. Added a customization for HTML page footers
(this is the only reader-visible change).
1. There is now only one RELNOTESng stylesheet; the architecture-specific
stylesheets (to handle different values of the arch= attribute) are gone.
2. Several Makefile variable definitions were factored into
doc.relnotes.mk.

o Define a RELN_ROOT variable which points to the root of the relnotes
tree (i.e., src/release/doc).
o By default, define DOC_PREFIX in terms of RELN_ROOT; this gives a
bigger chance of finding the doc/ tree without help in the form of
setting DOC_PREFIX on the command line.
o Respect DOCDIR; `make install` works now.
