 src/distrib/sets/checkflist currently disables METALOG checks:
 ---
 if false && [ -n "${metalog}" ]; then
 	# XXX: Temporarily disabled due to problems with obsolete files in metalog
 	compare_metalog
 else
 	compare_destdir
 fi
 
 exit 0		# cleanup will exit with ${es}
 ---
 
 It looks there is another problem for metalogs to handle '[':
 ---
 % cat SETS.metalog.extra 
 ./bin/\133
 ./rescue/\133
 ./usr/share/man/html1/\133.html
 ./usr/share/man/man1/\133.1
 % cat SETS.metalog.missing 
 ./bin/[
 ./rescue/[
 ./usr/share/man/html1/[.html
 ./usr/share/man/man1/[.1
 % 
 ---
 
 Anyway, using MLINKS generates proper hardlinks in ./usr/mdec in base.tgz
 so I'll commit a fix for src/sys/arch/hp300/stand Makefiles.
