- When a separate livefs ISO is used, change the name of the tree directory
to be R/cdrom/livefs and change the name of the iso to livefs.iso rather
than using disc2. Instead, disc2 is now always going to be the packages
disc regardless of the presence of a separate livefs which makes things
simpler.
- Build a very simple disc2 tree under R/cdrom that just includes the
cdrom.inf file that the packages need. Also, build a disc2.iso image
in the iso.1 target. Disc 2's volume label is "FreeBSD_Packages".
- Retire CD_EXTRA_BITS and replace it with CD_PACKAGE_TREE. CD_EXTRA_BITS
was specific to disc1, but CD_PACKAGE_TREE instead should point to a
directory that has disc1 and disc2 subdirectories that contain the extra
bits for each image.
- Rename the bootonly volume label to "FreeBSD_bootonly" and just hardcode

The new system tries to be more automated so that there is less work for
the re's to do. It also no longer uses a /usr/ports tree as its input,
but uses the generated package build including its INDEX file as its input.
It parses the INDEX file, determines which packages should go on which ISO
images, and then builds full-fledged trees of packages that can be added
as an argument to mkisofs along with the tree built by 'make release' to
build a full CD image. The INDEX files in the populated trees are
generated with volume media number to make use of sysinstall's multiple
volume support so that the user is kindly prompted to insert the
appropriate disc for a package if it is not on the current disc. There is
still some more tweaking to be done here, but this part needs to be
committed. This stuff will all be used to prep the 5.4 release as well.

- By default, include the live filesystem on disc1, so that disc1 is now
both an install disc and a fixit disc. The images can still be split
into two separate discs by specifying SEPARATE_LIVEFS=yes.
- Remove /usr/ports from the live filesystem disc as the merged images
do not fit on even i386 otherwise. Also, the merged image already
contains a tarball of the entire ports tree, so /usr/ports was a
duplicate anyway.
- Stop building port READMES for the release sinc they are no longer used
(/usr/ports in the live filesystem was the last remaining user).
- Split cdrom.1 into three targets. cdrom.1 builds the live filesystem
image. cdrom.2 builds the disc1 image. Note that if SEPARATE_LIVEFS
is not specified these both write to the same area. cdrom.3 builds
the bootonly image and the UFS miniroot.
- The various distribution directories are now in a <buildname>
subdirectory of disc1 rather than being in the root so that the merged
image's root is not quite as cluttered.
- The disc1 image is now called disc1.iso and we no longer build a
miniinst.iso image. If CD_EXTRA_BITS is defined, then the iso.1 target
will simply include those bits in the disc1 image that it builds.
