:Yes, however there is the "rule" of not touching the installed system
:until installworld. I think that mtree should read src/etc/master.passwd
:and src/etc/group to get the uid/gid values. This avoids the dependency
:of the hierarchy on awk etc as build tools. The new mtree version
:would need to be bootstrapped early like make is. The installworld step
:should do the ${DESTDIR}/etc update (also adding any missing .conf files
:too).
