Two comments:

- some of the etc/etc.*/Makefile.inc files may do that explicitly, so
	the redundant stuff should be cleaned up.

- if we want checksum files in the top level of $RELEASEDIR, then we need
	to make sure that happens after the notes are installed.

I'm doing 1.4.2 by having each etc/etc.*/Makefile.inc call over to
distrib/notes, which isn't as elegant but was easier to get working
one port at a time (I'm doing eight of them) because I was already
cutting and pasting various things in those files.

Those patches have not been submitted for the release branch though, as
they are part of an intricate web of ``make release'' overhaul that I
did in etc/.
