    I think this context was forgotten:
http://markmail.org/message/fk2xqlrtvljjo3rf
    Also:

$ find /usr/src/ -name 'Makefile*' | xargs grep WITHOUT_SYSINSTALL
$ echo $?
1
$ svn info /usr/src/ | grep Revision | sed 's,Revision: ,,'
219120

    Doesn't look like this sentinel is honored anywhere.
