I'd like to customize /usr/share/skel. It's an easy matter to edit
/usr/src/share/skel/Makefile and to make my own dot files.

However, will my customizations get overwritten when I make my next world?
If so, what's the best way to go about preventing my files from being
overwritten? e.g. should I place my custom Makefile and dot files in a
different directory and rerun my Makefile after a successful install
world?
