521ee9798f This is a short man page which describes bsd.snmpmod.mk. It documents
only the features that this file layers on top of bsd.lib.mk and should
therefore cross-reference to bsd.lib.mk, which doesn't exist.

633be11491 Replace "/etc/make.conf" with references to make.conf(5)
where applicable.  The main reason for this change is that
the location of make.conf is not constant and can be
modified via __MAKE_CONF.  This change also improves
hyper-text linkage in our manpages.

f78772bbe4 Add delete-old and delete-old-libs targets:
- removes obsolete files/dirs or libraries.
  - works in interactive (default) and batch mode
  - respects DISTDIR
  - documented in UPDATING and build(7)

The head of the file ObsoleteFiles.inc contains instructions how to add
obsolete files/dirs/libs to the list. Obviously one should add obsolete
files to this list, when he removes a file/dir/lib from the basesystem.

Additionally add check-old target:
  - allows re@ to check if a file on the obsolete list resurfaces

Design goals:
  - allows full control by the user (default interactive mode)
  - possibility of scripted removal of obsolete files (batch mode)
  - opt-in removal of files (explicit list of files)
  - seperate removal of libs (2 delete targets)

Important design decissions:
  - structured list of files to remove instead of a plain text file:
    * allows to remove additional files if a NO_foo knob is specified
      without the need to change the targets (no NO_foo knob is respected
      yet)
  - not using mtree like NetBSD does:
    * mtree doesn't has an interactive mode
