NO_FSCHG variable has been around a long time, and is de-facto
supported.  It will be documented shortly when I get done cleaning up
build(7).

NO_FSCHG has been the documented way (in examples) for installing over
NFS for a very long time.  It looks to my eye like this change fixed a
problem with that...
