assignments to the literal values it would have returned.
The concept of set_rcvar() was nice in theory, but the forks
it creates are a drag on the startup process, which is especially
noticeable on slower systems, such as embedded ones.
During the discussion on freebsd-rc@ a preference was expressed for
using ${name}_enable instead of the literal values. However the
code portability concept doesn't really apply since there are so
many other places where the literal name has to be searched for
and replaced. Also, using the literal value is also a tiny bit
faster than dereferencing the variables, and every little bit helps.
and $desc.
The set_rcvar_obsolete() is for displaying an obsolete variable
and the new one. More specifically, a warning is displayed when
a variable is removed or changed in the source tree and the user
still defines the old one.
$router* and $ipv6_router* are replaced with $routed_* and
$route6d_* for consistency. The old variables still work but
can be removed in the future.

The NetBSD ident string will be left intact, both for history and
also incase we wish to pull in future versions.
