attached patch converts all ln commands in makefiles to ${LN}. this
takes us one step further to a installworld which registers installed

easily). please test and comment.
(sorry, I couldn't comment on this before the commit)
When you're installing from an older system(-RELEASE, for example)
using DESTDIR, `make upgrade' fails because it uses older <sys.mk> in
the installing system, rather than from the source tree or from
$DESTDIR/share/mk.  If I specify the share/mk in the source tree using
MAKEFLAGS, it seems to work fine.
shouldn't make upgrade be run *after* installworld? (ah, the comment 
also states "post-installworld"). not sure if we should introduce a 
hack then.
