There are some sources that attempt to be compatible with the last 25
versions of FreeBSD and/or NetBSD using __FreeBSD__ or a private version
identifier.  E.g., pcvt, sound and several other isa drivers.  For these
the "vendor" code already has __FreeBSD__ ifdefs and would break if we
cleaned things up.
