Lionel Sambuc 9152e1c5a7 Upgrading build system to new NetBSD revision
The tested targets are the followgin ones:
 * tools
 * distribution
 * sets
 * release

The remaining NetBSD targets have not been disabled nor tested
*at all*. Try them at your own risk, they may reboot the earth.

For all compliant Makefiles, objects and generated files are put in
MAKEOBJDIR, which means you can now keep objects between two branch
switching. Same for DESTDIR, please refer to build.sh options.

Regarding new or modifications of Makefiles a few things:
 * Read share/mk/bsd.README
 * If you add a subdirectory, add a Makefile in it, and have it called
   by the parent through the SUBDIR variable.
 * Do not add arbitrary inclusion which crosses to another branch of
   the hierarchy; If you can't do without it, put a comment on why.
   If possible, do not use inclusion at all.
 * Use as much as possible the infrastructure, it is here to make
   life easier, do not fight it.

Sets and package are now used to track files.
We have one set called "minix", composed of one package called "minix-sys"

the scripts should be run from the directory where they reside.
makeflist: output the list of files that should be in a
distribution, according to the contents of the
'lists' directory.
checkflist: check the file list (as internally generated
by makeflist) against the tree living in $DESTDIR.
(that tree should be made with 'make distribution'.)
maketars: make tarballs of the various sets in the distribution,
based on the contents of the lists, the tree in
$DESTDIR, and put the tarballs in $RELEASEDIR.
Note that this script _doesn't_ create the 'secr'
distribution, because (for now) it requires
manual intervention to get the binaries right...
(i'll add another script to create that dist, later.)
what's in 'lists':
lists describing file sets. There are two sets of lists per file
set: machine dependent and machine-independent files. (there's
also another file in the 'man' dir, which is used by the 'man'
and 'misc' sets, but that's explained later.)
There is one machine-independent file, named "mi". There are
N machine-dependent files (one per architecture), named "md.${ARCH}".
the sets are as follows:
base: the base binary set. excludes everything described
below.
comp: compiler tools. All of the tools relating to C, C++,
and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!) that are in the
tree. This includes includes, the linker, tool chain,
and the .a versions of the libraries. (obviously,
base includes ldd, ld.so, and the shared versions.
base also includes 'cpp', because that's used by X11.)
includes the man pages for all the binaries contained
within. Also, includes all library and system call
manual pages.
etc: /etc, and associated files (/var/cron/tabs, /root,
etc.). things that shouldn't be blindly reinstalled
on an upgrade.
games: the games and their man pages.
man: all of the man pages for the system, except those
listed elsewhere (e.g. in comp, games, misc, text).
Includes machine-dependent man pages for this CPU.
misc: share/dict, share/doc, and the machine-dependent
man pages for other CPUs which happen to always
be installed.
modules: stand/${MACHINE}/${OSRELEASE}/modules kernel modules
tests: unit, regression, integration and stress tests for the
whole system.
text: text processing tools. groff and all of its friends.
includes man pages for all bins contained within.
as noted, in addition to the "standard" files in each dir, there's
a file called 'md_share' in lists/man. it's the list of man pages
that are installed from /usr/src/share, which are machine-dependent.
(note that ones that are installed from elsewhere, and thus are
installed on only one architecture, are listed in the md.${ARCH}
file.) basically, it's grepped through, to see which of the
machine-dependent man pages that are always installed should go
in the 'man' set, and which should go into the 'misc' set.
Each set must contain "./etc/mtree/set.<set name>" within the mi
list. Failure to add this will break unprivileged builds.
