    That's looking better but the check code needs to be beefed up.  
    Someone running 'make installer_release' on a pristine system needs
    to be told by the check code exactly what is needed before the build
    occurs.  As in cut-and-paste, just like the current nrelease build
    does.  You can either echo-out the appropriate command that the user
    need to run, or you can provide a make target that gets the required
    material.   This includes the installation of /etc/mk.conf.
