   When I did this, I got a lot of "Unknown modifier '@'", "Unknown
   modifier 'U'", and finally "make: don't know how to make }/}}@}.
   Stop."  Anything I missed?  Thanks.

Hello...

Often times I have had to manually copy in the new /usr/src/share/mk stuff
into /usr/share/mk if the version of the system I was upgrading from was
much older then then new source.  Further, often times I have to manually
go into /usr/src/usr.bin/make and build a new make binary *BEFORE* doing
the manual copy.  I have yet to notice a problem using a new make binary
with an older /usr/share/mk directory and I think I only remember one
instance where the Makefile used to build 'make' wouldn't work with an
older make binary and /usr/share/mk directory.

Of course, saving off the original make binary and the contents of
/usr/share/mk is always done before I attempt this sort of thing.
