83d04c760a Change documentation for `make package' (Thanks (indirectly) O'Brien!).
Document `make readmes'.  This is getting old, and the intent is to
stop questions regarding it; however, I have a suspicion documenting it
will work counter to ending questions about it and am mentally prepared
to see it go-ooooooooo.......

8889d6ac3a Document the .Rv (return values) macro.
".Rv -std atexit" will generate the following text:

The atexit() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the
value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
error.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.
