Aesthetically, I think:

		if (error)
			kill_vmcmds(&epp->ep_vmcmds);
	#ifdef WARN_FOR_AOUT
		else
			printf("a.out format:  %s\n", epp->ep_ndp->ni_dirp);
	#endif

looks better, but that's just my 2c.  I personally wouldn't use it;
an a.out upgrade for me usually just consists of deinstallang and
reinstalling the contents of /usr/pkg...
