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).

DESTDIR. This avoids redundant information in the path when DOCDIR
points to some directory that already implies (or specifies) a certain
language. This is the case with the web site, where the release notes
are already installed under a language-specific directory. This
behavior is not being made mandatory because it might still be useful
to install all the translations in one directory, such as during
testing, or in a hypothetical release notes archive. Furthermore, it
is not being made the default because that breaks consistency with
stuff under doc/.

better organization; the content of this file used to be fairly
fragmented because it originally was derived from parts of several other
documents.
The first half of "About FreeBSD" has been pulled into the Introduction
section. The remainder of "About FreeBSD" plus the "Release Documentation"
section now make up a new <sect1></sect1> level section entitled
"Further Reading".

The two reasons for doing this are to: 1) Get rid of a bunch of
itty-bitty files and 2) help with a reorganization of the README that
will be much simpler if all the content is in a single file.
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)).
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.
