"make world" does the following:
    for each directory:
	    compile
	    install

"make buildworld installworld" does the following:
    for each directory:
	    compile
    for each directory
	    install

Using "make world" to create a jail is harmless, but using "make world"
to update a running jail or the host may lead to temporary
inconsistencies on the system during the process.
