Why doesn't etc/Makefile use bsd.files.mk, other than the fact that it's 
older than bsd.files.mk? :-)

My experience with msd.files.mk has been that it doesn't have trouble with 
files coming from the obj dir or from the source dir, so it would probably 
be a good fix. I will however let those more familiar with etc/Makefile 
actually do the converion. :-)

Take care,

Bill
