Ah! I did not use that since UPDATING only speaks about merging  
/usr/X11R6 and /usr/local which I had already done manually. Changes  
in /etc/rc.conf, /etc/periodic.conf and /etc/manpath.config where not  
mentioned so I did not bother running the script. It may be a good  
idea to add another sentence about that to UPDATING. I'd bet I'm not  
only one stumbling over that.
