This patch scares me a little.  FASTCLEAN should at a minimum
be set to some value, like "NEWFS" (and probably something a bit more
descriptive) before it goes around re-making file systems.  
I would hate to see my file system wiped out just because
I have the "FASTCLEAN" environment variable set for some other
application, and didn't intend for "make release" to use it.
