nhmall bac8ebad34 revisit Makefile sysconf steps
Add distinct potential steps into Makefile.top for putting
sysconf into place, instead of appending the steps for doing so
to the generic POSTINSTALL.

SYSCONFINSTALL is used for 'make install' and unconditionally
copies sys/unix/sysconf to the install directory.

SYSCONFENSURE is used for 'make update' and only copies
sys/unix/sysconf to the installation directory if it doesn't
already exist.

The initial trigger for revisiting this was because of new reports
that cp from (GNU coreutils) 9.4 is now issuing a warning during
NetHack builds. The warning pertains to deprecated use of the '-n'
switch with cp, which is used to only copy the file if the target
does not exist.

After this update, the shell is used to make that determination,
and if the file doesn't exist, cp is now invoked on Linux without
the '-n' switch.

For the macOS hints file, macOS.370, cp wasn't being used for sysconf
anyway, a utility script was being invoked and this doesn't change
that. macOS.370 was updated to remain in sync with linux.370 and
Makefile.top regarding the use of SYSCONFINSTALL and SYSCONFENSURE.

This README provides the instructions for building the unofficial Mac
binaries using the Apple provided developer IDE named XCode.

Establish a developer team in XCode
===================================

Your first step should be to establish a developer team within XCode.
Launch XCode and open the preferences dialog (XCode Menu->Preferences).
Select the "Accounts" tab.  Add an account (usually this should just be
your apple ID account you used to setup the Mac).  After adding the account,
select the account and then add a team (usually this will be just a
personal team for Mac Development).

Obtain your developer team identifier
=====================================

Your DEVELOPMENT_TEAM can be found by opening Keychain Access
(found by Finder->Applications->Utilities).  Click on "My Certificates".
Look for your "Mac Developer" certificate.  Right click on
the certificate to open a dialog that shows certificate details.
Look for "Organizational Unit" among the details.  This ten digit value
is your development team identifier.

Create XCodeLocal.xcconfig file
===============================

Now you need to create the XCodeLocal.xcconfig file that will be used by
XCode to get your development team identifier.  Create the file in
sys/unix and add a single line such as:
DEVELOPMENT_TEAM = XXXXXXXXXX

Where XXXXXXXXXX is replaced with your development team identifier.

Open the project and build
==========================

In XCode open the project file sys/unix/NetHack.xcodeproj, select
the product NetHack and build.  The build results are placed in
~/nethackdir.
