[wplug-bsd] overzealous upgrade all the way to CURRENT?

[Poyner, Brandon]

I was just following what he said he had done.  He tried a buildkernel
and that failed, so he moved on to buildworld.  But unless he did a
installkernel or installworld I don't see how any part of the installed
OS would change here.  Something in the story seems to be missing.

To my knowledge, uname(1) has always been based on the kernel,
which should pull in newvers.sh.
