That's slightly out of date -- "make release DESTDIR=foo
RELEASEDIR=bar" now works in "xsrc", too. The only thing that "make
release" in /usr/src, followed by "make release" in /usr/xsrc doesn't
do, is generate the "SOURCE_DATE" file at the top of "${RELEASEDIR}",
nor does it clean out "${DESTDIR}" before starting.
