Hmmm . . . I'm doing my first every buildworld stuff, having just
grabbed the kernel with cvsup for the first time.  It's cool I stumbled
across this thread . . . .

Where do I get a current /usr/src/UPDATING?

The one I have seems to still be the one from when I installed
4.2-RELEASE, so it has directions which are (apparently) obsolete.

Wouldn't it make more sense for a kernel "cvsup" to go ahead and update
the /usr/src/UPDATING file, since the FreeBSD handbook says to read that
for up-to-date directions on building the kernel?
