 This change seems to break many /etc/rc* (and indirectly) *.mk stuff
 of a regular NetBSD system. I noticed that first during
 /etc/rc.d/network start, when some ifconfig.XXX were no longer set up.
 
 Also /usr/sbin/postinstall check now produces some 'additional'
 output.
 
 Just reverting this change seems to fix it.
 
 Markus.
