So *is* freebsd-update invoking mergemaster? There wasn't anything
in its man page indicating that, or indicating how to pass flags to it
if it is. My assumption was that it wasn't, because it doesn't show the
usual mergemaster 4 options with each file (new, delete new, merge
old/new, or defer to later.)
