Sheldon Hearn f66e7afa28 Add to defaults/rc.conf a new function source_rc_confs which rc
scripts may use to source safely overrides in ${rc_conf_files}
files.

This protects users who insist on the bad practice of copying
/etc/defaults/rc.conf to /etc/rc.conf from a recursive loop
that exhausts available file descriptors.

Several people have expressed interest in breaking this function
out into its own shell script.  Anyone who wants to embark on
such an undertaking would do well to study the attributed PR.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel and the contents of /etc.  Please see the top of the Makefile
in this directory for more information on the standard build targets
and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel with config(8) is a somewhat more involved process,
documentation for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not
just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference
than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it
wouldn't even run).
