I've added the "-N ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc" to the mtree invocation,
and it cannot be disabled.  (See below).

I've added '-N dbdir' support to install(1), and added that to
${INSTPRIV} in <bsd.own.mk>

I replaced the chown -R with some pax(1) magic.


I tested building a full i386 release with these changes on a
machine without a "root" user or "wheel" group, and it worked fine,
with and without UNPRIVED defined.  So I committed the changes...

"Problem solved."

Enjoy!
