Heh Dru, you should have read my page, I cover about three of your
issues there.  :)

Another very nice thing about 5.3 (not yet mentioned in UPDATING as of a
few days ago) is rather than cd'ing to /usr/obj and cleaning up that
way, there's a new make cleanworld target, done from /usr/src.  This
eliminates things like the following

chflags -R noschg * 

(Thinking, hrrm, this is taking a long time today)

rm -rf *

(Hrrm, this is really taking awhile.)

cd /usr/src

/usr/src no such directory


(HUH??????)

pwd  /usr

Oops.  :)

Yes, it really did happen once--fortunately, a test box, so I could
laugh.
