    I just found out that makewhatis does not produce the same output
    after two different installworld runs.

    I'm not sure why this is, but it would be neat if we could fix it.

    To reproduce, try something like:

            make buildworld
            for i in 1 2
            do
                    rm -rf /foo/bar
                    make installworld DESTDIR=/foo/bar
                    md5 /foo/bar/usr/share/man/whatis
            done
