That looks mostly right, but I am not sure what you mean by "fix mtree
entries to make a link"; the way to make a symlink is uing the SYMLINKS
variable and bsd.links.mk (see src/usr.sbin/mailwrapper/Makefile for an
example).

I might do a single cvs commit for everything at once.

I would certainly not do a repository move or repository copy; those are
OK for fixing mistakes very soon after the mistakes are made, but should
otherwise be avoided.

Don't forget a full "build.sh release", and a test install
(e.g. using anita) before commit.
