Additionally, every time the "installworld" target is executed, the same
directories will be automatically backed up at the location of
${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}/world_backup . These directories could be restored
with the new make target "restoreworld-auto".

Bug: This breaks on NFS object trees as the copy tries to set flags,
which can't be done over NFS

Also,

1) getting an 'off button' back for this would be swell
2) build(7) should probably be updated with whatever the final result is.

personally, I'd prefer this was optional behavior with an 'on' switch,
(e.g. it seems sort of like a 'developer setting' like CFLAGS, etc)

but, that's me.

sorry to back seat drive with no attched patch - lifes a bit hectic ATM.

Cheers,
