:new target, emit_dist_file, to assemble the correct NetBSD.dist.

:Previously, 'postinstall -m amd64 -s $SRC_TOP' would install a

This presumes that every system where you wish to run "postinstall" has
access and availability to their system's tooldir "nbcat".  If you use
the "build.sh" system with the "-T" option instead of using /etc/mk.conf
then it fails.  It's also annoying for updating multiple hosts with
network mounted sources.
