Great.  I got quite excited when Mark Murray made noises about cleansing
the userland source code of __P().

I think the original idea was to do it for HEAD only, to avoid unnecessary
deltas for RELENG_4 cvsup users.  Since 5.0-RELEASE has been delayed, it
probably doesn't make sense for the purge to happen until the advent of
the RELENG_5 branch.  We don't want gratuitous diffs like this making
merges onto RELENG_4 difficult.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
