- Make world doesn't build the modules any more.
- Mention the buildkernel/installkernel targets as common used targets.
- LINT has gone, NOTES is new but cannot be built.  It is a pure reference
  file.  However, I still mentioned LINT but pointed out the difference
  between the ancient LINT and the new NOTES.  This should avoid confusion.
- crypto/ subdir isn't export controlled any more.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf

file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation

just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference
than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it
wouldn't even run).

devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
