That patch was based off of your 8:49AM (revision 1.7) commit

The method of allocating and releasing a md and vn are
different, would it be too much to maintain two different
scripts (-stable and -current) until mdconfig replaces
its counterpart?

Good idea, I missed that.

On line 336 of the script, you export dead air, resulting in
no program being passed to Makefile.conf, my snippet of code
at the bottom should be removed and a more appropriate line
inserted after line 62 along the lines of:

CONFIG=${CONFIG:-config}

I missed that portion of that script when I was looking at it
this morning.

Yeah, that should be $1 not $2.
