description:
sync to revision 1.59

original commit message:
1) Nuke NetBSD1_4 -- no point in perpetuating a bad practice. Since it
   hasn't been seen by anyone yet, why encourage its use by defining it?
2) Indicate in a comment that the NetBSD define is now frozen, will
   never again be incremented, and may even be deprecated. Indicate
   yet again that all new code must use __NetBSD_Version__
