See this thread:

   http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.freebsd.cvs/browse_thread/thread/a0344851d94df36f/e94a3c524ff22732?lnk=st&q=&rnum=3#e94a3c524ff22732

If that link doesn't work, search groups.google.com,
"/usr/bin/env python group:*freebsd*" and see the
"cvs commit: src/etc rc.subr" thread.
