I did it this way on a couple of machines, by NFS mounting /usr/src and
/usr/obj off the build machine.  I already had perl installed on the
3.3-RELEASE machine, and was able to do it without the -DNOPERL.  I did find
that I needed to manually install "zic" beforehand, as installworld uses an
option that the old "zic" does not have.
