So I am discovering.  I moved the system to 9.1-PRE today with a
source compile.  After I then did a make remove-old, the system
started complaining about missing libraries.  So ... I temporarily
fixed this with appropriate /etc/libmap.conf entires.  I am now
about to do a portupgrade -aARrvf to redo the ports.  We'll see
how that goes...
