New release note: kbdmap(1)/vidfont(1) C rewrite.
Changed release notes: KSE (rewrite and status update), Binutils 2.12.1 (20020622 snapshot). MFCs noted: libpcap-0.7.1, tcpdump-3.7.1, OpenSSH through 3.4p1. Also retroactively note some OpenSSH items as MFC-ed and historic. I'm not sure when these were merged, but I'm pretty sure it was a long time ago.
