Apparently, some browsers render the "vv" to look more like a "w".
To provide visual clarity, use "-v -v" instead.

- Selecting Country Menu description is valid for 7.X and 8.X, so remove
"For &os; 6.2 and later," from mention of Selecting Contry Menu.

Undo Revision 1.74 for the moment. Seems some of the entities
- a.alpha
- a.qa
- a.smp
are still used somewhere in the documentation.
So removing will cause build failures in these documents (a.qa for example is referenced in articles/releng).
The three public technical mailing lists:
freebsd-alpha
freebsd-qa
freebsd-smp
have been removed. While their archives remain, it is no longer
possible to post to or receive messages from them.
Based on a patch provided by: David Wolfskill (david att catwhisker dott org)
"pkg_info" uses the content of the "COMMENT" variable in a ports Makefile to display a one-line summary of the port. But it will only
display 60 characters (longer COMMENTs are just cut off).
Noted by: Jason Helfman (jhelfman ett experts-exchange dott com)
- add more explanations about why it is a good idea to remove old libs
- move the "make delete-old" step after the second mergemaster, because
that is safer [1]
- remove the extra "make check-old-libs" because it is done together with
"make check-old"
- BATCH_DELETE_OLD_FILES is a make variable and not an environment variable
- warn more vividly that the user has to recompile ports and other programs
before running "make delete-old-libs" and explain how to do this
- mention that portupgrade can also be used to recompile ports
[1] this brings the handbook in sync with the description in
/usr/src/UPDATING changed in r216591.
Discussed with: netchild
