    release              Makefile 
  Log:
  Remove some serious foot-shooting potential from the release Makefile.  For
  some unknown reason, when LOCAL_PATCHES and LOCAL_SCRIPT were originally
  added, they were silently ignored if the actual file did not exist.  As a
  result, if one mistyped the pathname to a patch or script, then the release
  silently succeeded.  However, it was not built with the desired changes and
  no warning was given to inform the builder either.  This commit explicitly
  checks to see that all of the defined patches and scripts exist up front
  and bails if any of them do not exist.  I lost several hours of valuable
  sleeping time this evening due to this "feature" so I've finally gone and
  ripped out.  I've tripped over this in the past several other times as
  well.
