This now includes /dev, /dev/fd, /proc, /compat/linux/proc, CD-ROMs and DVDs
as well as duplicating everything in nullfs mounts, all of which are probably
undesirable -- well, they are undesirable to me; whether they are to
others is the question ;-).
Also, the example in /etc/locate.rc should be updated to avoid
misleading users into thinking that ufs is the only filesystem searched
(granted, this was wrong before).
