Well, certain NetBSD docs want you to do it the other way

For example, htt
p://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/updating.html, in
addition to several (non netbsd.org hostsed) walk-throughs.

I did try to build the whole userland and it blew up, last
week.
I am guessing that the config and other apps I need are in
src/tools, so I'll try building just that and see if it
goes.
 
Although I shouldn't be horribly off, there could certainly
be changes preparing for 4.0 I guess (although I'm not
tracking that specifically).

One of the syntax errors is at the maxusers line of the
INSTALL file, which seem strange, I thought that has been
present quite a while.

One piece at a time, I guess.

I recommend using build.sh.  build.sh also allows building
just the
kernel.  You get the benefit of it making sure that the
tools are up
to date, as well.
