Synopsis: [patch] Add notice to /usr/src/Makefile that make world is depricated

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: gavin
State-Changed-When: Mon Jan 28 15:59:33 UTC 2008
State-Changed-Why: 
"make world" is not entirely deprecated - it still has a use for
people installing jails, and for people who know exactly what they
are doing.  Additinally, "make world" will print a message when
invoked outside of those two circumstances, explaining this.
Given that, I think adding a comment into the makefile is probably
unnecessary, as well as being misleading for the above reasons.
