Woo-hoo!  I finally got a 'make release' to work!  Thanks for
everyone's pointers...

I had to pre-install on my base system the MINIMALDOCPORTS snarl
of stuff, and given that a dozen or so distfiles are hosted on
Sourceforge, so you can't make an automated install of them.  Maybe
I should pester the mailtainers of those respective ports...

It was rather disappointing that I couldn't run 'make release' in
parallel via the '-j' option, though.  :/

One last question, that only vaguely applies to this topic:

How disparate can the host OS version be from the version I'm trying
to make a release of?  (My host OS is 4.5-RELEASE; what the 'newest'
version of the OS that I could sucessfully perform a 'make release'
of without upgrading?

Still scrounging various docs...)
