Directory for (introductory) document.
+If building the release notes "standalone" (in other words, not part
+of a release), it may be necessary (depending on the relative
+locations of the checked-out src/ and doc/ directories) to set the
+DOC_PREFIX Makefile variable to point to the top directory of the doc/
+tree. For example:
+
+ % make DOC_PREFIX=/usr/doc all
+
All definition of the "current" version of FreeBSD is contained in the
share/sgml/release.ent file; release engineers should peruse the
contents of this file carefully when doing version number bumps.
