Also pulled the entity definitions for the various sections out

empty sections as their own.
c) Incorporated MIRROR.SITES as the first section in the appendix

the file is fetched or not. Apparently Jordan fixed it a long time
ago but it was broken again at import of the new version of ncftp.
Which means even if we fix it, it may break again and we may need to
fix it again, and (imagination here, please)....
Instead, move the file existence check into the for loop for
MASTER_SITES/PATCH_SITES and break out with "continue 2" when the file
is found. This is actually a cleaner logic than before if you ask me,
because instead of assuming the file is fetched on a 0 exit status
from ncftp AND checking for the existence of the file after the loop,
the check is done exactly once for each iteration and nowhere else.
do-extract target depending on defined(EXTRACT_ONLY) or not, simply
set EXTRACT_ONLY ?= ${DISTFILES} and always use ${EXTRACT_ONLY} as
the extraction list.
Jordan, you might wish to update sysinstall's builtin knowledge, too.

Remove some rare-used semigraphics from VT100 entry, it really helps many
not-fully compatible emulators and don't degradate original vt100 much.
Add VT200 keys set to VT100 k1-k4, it not affects original VT100 since no one
program tests keys presense, but helps emulators to work

my commit messages, most of them are porters and port bug-fixers.

o a couple of header files have been missing
o convert the LKM Makefile to use <bsd.kmod.mk>
o rename the module to ``misc_mod'' (as opposed to ``miscmod''), so
the module name can be made identical to the module's file name,
avoiding the clash with one of the component's .o file names
o modstat(1/8) has been moved meanwhile
of replacing it. This way you can point it to a site close to you
that carries many distfiles, and still let it go fetch from the
original site if the distfile is not there.

All cross reference labels start with name of the file that contains
them. A label for the top section level is simply the name of the
file (omitting the .sgml). Other references within the file append a
colon and onother name. For example, the label on the mailing list
section in the file eresources.sgml is eresources:mail. This gives
each file its own cross reference namespace.

as our distribution point for distfiles and patches. Other than
cosmetic changes (freebsd.cdrom.com -> ftp.freebsd.org), the
omission of "ports" is important. I would like to move this
directory completely out of the ports tree (on the ftp site),
so that people who do "get ports.tar.gz" won't get a bogus distfiles

Sometime around the 2.1 release, the distfiles link will be deleted.

is the default if USE_IMAKE or USE_X11 is set.
This should be useful for machines like thud, where we want to keep
the /usr/local subtree writable to a group ("ports" in our case). Anybody
who installs stuff in /usr/local should have this set in the environment.
Note this won't affect anything the pkg_* suite does.

This target may give incorrent results if two separate patches deal

By the way, here is a small script to convert your local package
hierarchy. Run it in bash, as /bin/sh not only will bark at the
