50dc754f56 Add a mild warning for people to expect problems in -current after the 
SMPng merge.  Suggest 4.x-stable for a while for those people that are
unable or unwilling to cope with problems.

After 6 hours of use tonight, my gut tells me that we're going to have
lots of problems crop up in the coming weeks.

6ffdd2b431 Added a dire sounding note about how crypto is required to build the 
system.  Well, not really required if you know what you are doing, but
there's enough people that don't fit into this class that are getting
burned now that we need to say it is required.  The actual message
says that one should treat it as if it was required to try to be
weasilly for the nitpickers amoung us :-)Killed by signal 2.
