However, some change of this sort would be very useful -- the NO_MAN issue
is the only one of two issues preventing 6.x kernels from building on an
un-customized 5.x world.  The other issue is changes in config(8), but
that's a lot more easily worked around as it doesn't require changes to
the global makefiles to fix.  As someone who runs their build and remote
management boxes on RELENG_5, but remote test boxes on HEAD, I'd find it
very useful if we could find some solution to this.  The one I've had in
mind is teaching the 5.x .mk files to also know about NO_MAN -- that way
at least newer RELENG_5 could build 6.x components without a full
buildworld.
