In an earlier version of -stable there was the login.conf problem and also at some time the need to add something to /etc/group. Obviously it doesn't work to respond to questions in freebsd-questions (people don't read it until they run into trouble) or the newsgroup. And not everyone subscribes to -stable. What you need is a README file that arrives with the sources and ends up in /usr/src and has the latest info on what has to be done that the make world won't do.
