With the advent of the conversion of HEAD to 10.0-CURRENT and, as to be
expected, ports/ is going to be essentially unusable for a while.

The issue stems from configure scripts (to choose something completely
at random) assuming that FreeBSD would never jump to a double-digit
major version number, and as such, various regexps for "freebsd1*" (ie:
FreeBSD 1.1.x) are now matching "freebsd10".

aDe,

Could an entry to this effect be added to UPDATING (with a matching
entry when ports/ is "unbroken").

Also mention a workaround, e.g.

   $ export UNAME_r='9.9-BLAH'


Now I understand why some OS vendors have choosen the latin 10 'X' for their tenth version of their operating system ...
