You're the second person other than me to request this. :-)

Hi folks,
I'm about to add a flag to mkfifo that allows you to specify creation
mode. NetBSD does this already.
However, there's a difference in the way our mkfifo and NetBSd's mkfifo
create files. We create with permissions 0777 modified by umask. NetBSD
creates with permissions 0666 modified

Hi folks,
While testing out a change I'm proposing for src/Makefile.inc1 (see my
PR 13398, which proposes the addition of a WHICH_GAMES knob), I've hit
my head against something I can't figure out.
Basically, I have the following in Makefile.inc1:

Hi folks,
What follows is a diff that presents Doug's changes (which must have
required quite a bit of effort, thanks!) in a slightly different format
which I think the grumpies here might prefer.
