patch

Makefile recommends to always run mergemaster after system update from source.
However, there are often a lot of files only having minor differences in
comments. For example, those only with the change in $FreeBSD: xxx template.
Such files require the user to choose 'i' again and again, often many times.

The attached patch solves this problem. It offers the user the new option 'a',
which would automatically accept all further files that differ only in
comments.
