Peter removed support for this a while ago.  The easiest way to get
around problems now is to edit sys/conf/files* and add a nowerror for
each affected file.

I think the idea is to force developers to test changes, so that they
hit the errors before the tinderboxes and the rest of the developer
base.  In practice this doesn't stop the determined troublemakers. :)
