   : i'm not sure how much i'm liking this proliferation of top-level
   : documentation.   can't we create a src/docs and shove all these
   : in there now?
   
   Well, the intent is to do away with UPDATING entirely when everything is
   switched to the new toolchain.  The top-level location of this document is
   rather important, as it is *the* documentation for the entrypoint into
   building NetBSD from source.

hmm, UPDATING will still be useful for building kernels.
   
   I'm not entirely sure how confusing it would be to move BUILDING.* and
   UPDATING into a path such as src/doc, but I know that moving them to
   src/share/doc is out of the question.  This document has to be somewhere in
   close reach of the top level Makefile and build.sh.

i guess i mostly object to having multiple (generated!) versions
of the same file in the top level, as well as other documents.
a single document is fine.
