- correct typo in variable name
- remove etc/security (file):
While this doesn't affect the new directory, we should remove it to keep
the list "clean".
if you don't want to get some errors (e.g. in the build of
x11/XFree86-4-documents). So they don't belong here.

or 2.0.2. These date back to 1996. Likely not needed for most
people, but good to have on the list for completeness.
# This is part 1 of 2, as I only had time to go through the first few
# directories.
that's been updated via buildworld for about 5 years now...
Note: some of the bin/foo that were duplicated as sbin/foo were likely errors
in the first place.
Note2: This contains some, but not all, of the perl and uucp files as I'd
removed some of them before I started keeping track...
- Add a note about the organisation of the sections.
- Expand shell globs (they worked in a previous version of the delete-old
target, but not in this one).
- Use the correct way of checking for a native environment. [1]
- Add some more obsolete files.
- Fix some bad english. [1]

- 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
