Doug Barton e14387c0bf Maintenance and updates
=======================
1. Various improvements to the mtree (-U) feature:
a. Seperate the notion of directory and file (user can override db path)
b. Only check for the existence of the mtree file if -U is set
c. Use mktemp to create the new version of the file
d. More safely install the new file
e. Standardize error messages a bit
2. Remove the last of the MAKEDEV stuff (RIP)

New Features
============
1. Switch to using the top level (e.g., /usr/src) Makefile, and specify
that we should use the *.mk files from the source directory instead of
the installed versions. [1][2] This allows easier cross builds and
simplifies (or in some cases permits) upgrading.
2. Check for the deprecated 'nodev' option in /etc/fstab [3]
3. Add support for the IGNORE_FILES variable [4] and deprecate IGNORE_MOTD
accordingly.
4. Before installing a file check to make sure that the target does not
already exist as a directory [5]
5. Check to be sure that the file installed and error out if not
