No - it does not.  I have no idea why not, as I've certainly never removed
ANY copy of mkdep from ANY directory - I wonder if there's a problem with
the 4.5-RELEASE distro not installing it by default with an installation
from CD?

I'm most of the way through an installation of gcc32 from
/usr/ports/lang/gcc32 now.  I see that it's already placed a copy of mkdep
in its work directory, so this should fix the problem, I would assume.

Has anybody else ever noticed mkdep missing for some strange reason from a
BSD installation?

Incidentally, not only was mkdep missing from /usr/bin, when I performed a
find / -iname mkdep, it was only discovered in /usr/src/usr.bin and a couple
of work directories for one random port or another.  Most strange indeed...
