i'm fine with having 'make world' documented somewhere, although such
documentation should probably note that it's been deprecated for over
20 years.  i'm just saying it can't be documented as a way of upgrading
the host system since it won't do that -- it will refuse to run unless
DESTDIR is set, so it can upgrade jails, but not hosts.
