a/etc-15.0-x86_64-15.txz: Rebuilt.
/etc/profile: Don't define a $LESS variable, but provide a commented-out
example of "-M -R". As far as I can tell, setting $LESS to -M is something
that we picked up from SLS's /etc/profile at the very beginning and then
kept it because it wasn't causing any problems. Personally, I'll be
uncommenting this because it's nice to get the extra output from less
provided by -M concerning your place in the file, but we'll leave it up
to the end user how to handle this.
Thanks to krown, marav, LockyWolf, and drgibbon.
