 	patch files included.
 
 	the missing sys.mk file is found under /usr/share/mk on NetBSD, however
 	if using bootstrap the file is found under ${PREFIX}/share/mk.
 	Makefile revs prior to 1.28 showed makesyspath as
 	makesyspath=${PREFIX}/share/mk:/usr/share/mk:/usr/local/share/mk:/opt/share/mk
 	I assumed that the /usr/local and /opt paths are not relevant to NetBSD
 	/usr/share and ${PREFIX}/share should cover the default install and
 	bootsrap pkgsrc.
 
 	in Makefile.in lowering WARN=2 was to enable completion of the build.
 	compat.c would warn that vfork might clobber several variables in 
 	function CompatRunCommand. There exists a #ifdef __GNUC__ to prevent 
 	the warning, however it would appear that gcc 4 is no longer 
 	fooled by it.
 
 	this was tested on 4.99.3/i386 using pkgsrc20061111 and under 
 	pkg_comp having run bootstrap to populate /usr/pkg/share/mk.
 	Also tested on FreeBSD 5.4 with same pkgsrc.
 
 	testing included using the new bmake to compile devel/zlib
