I want mergemaster(8) to have a list not to compare.  It is not
necessary for mergemaster(8) to compare host specific files, for
example, /etc/hosts, /etc/printcap and /etc/shells, to their
originals in /usr/src.  I want that system managers for local
hosts can decide which files follow the source and which files
do not.
