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.
Hmm.  Is `make upgrade' run before or after installworld in the 
following
example:
  # cd /usr/src
  # cvs update -dP
  # make buildworld
  # export DESTDIR=/alt
  # make installworld && make upgrade

In my opinion `make upgrade' is applied to the post-installworld
world under /alt, so there shouldn't be a problem.
ah, it was too soon, I didn't recognize the DESTDIR. you are right. now 
do we use DESTDIR/usr/share/mk or .CURDIR/share/mk? :)
