hi all!

i recently upgraded a 1.3ish system to -current, and i had some
wonderings:

is there a currently recommended solution for the problem with
/usr/include/machine/ moving to /usr/include/<arch> with machine now being
a symlink to arch?  this causes tar/pax to have some difficulties as it
can't just unlink the directory, so the 1.4 comp.tgz distribution set
probably won't upgrade cleanly on a 1.3 system.

likewise, i think there are some problems with some of the games
(although i can't remember what changed exactly).

i'd add this stuff to the INSTALL notes myself, but i don't know what
the right fix for it is at the moment (other than simply blowing away
/usr/include/machine and /usr/games before upgrading).

thoughts?
