>Description:
The BUILDING.mdoc source can be improved a bit in a few places.
I've corrected a couple of typos and reworded 2 sentences to improve their clarity (imho).
See attached diff, or if that comes out mangled because of the web form get it from
http://people.freebsd.org/~keramida/diff/BUILDING.patch
