+# The variable RELNOTES (I couldn't think of a better name) is a poor
+# man's list.  Its semantics are very similar to that of MLINKS (see
+# bsd.man.mk).  The first word is the directory under which that set
+# of relnotes should appear on the web site.  The second word is the
+# path to that relnotes set.
