 'include' should be fixed before it is merged.  It usually causes a syntax
 error.  E.g.:
 
 %%%

 ttyp0:bde at besplex:/usr/src/sys/i386/conf> cat FOOBAR
 include FOO
 ttyp0:bde at besplex:/usr/src/sys/i386/conf> cat FOO
 machine		i386
 cpu		I486_CPU
 ident		FOO
 ttyp0:bde at besplex:/usr/src/sys/i386/conf> config FOOBAR
 config: FOO:1: syntax error
 ttyp0:bde at besplex:/usr/src/sys/i386/conf> config FOO
 Kernel build directory is ../compile/FOO
 Don't forget to do a ``make depend''
 ttyp0:bde at besplex:/usr/src/sys/i386/conf> exit
