>Description:

	/usr/src/Makefile indicates that mergemaster -p should be run
	after everything has been built and the new kernel installed.

	This should actually be run prior to building anything.

	see mergemaster(8), freebsd-stable thread dated 7/7/2003
	Re: FreeBSD 4.4-REL to FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE upgrade problem.
