I've wondered about this myself.  The 4.3BSD version tries to use a program
called "grn" too, but that program does not come with stock 4.3BSD.

The 4.3reno libraries appear to contain sources for a library of grn
functions, but I can't find any program in the source tree that uses the
library functions.

In sum, I don't know how to process these files.  I was hoping someone else
would post here and explain, which is why I waited for four days before
posting this response :-).

4.3reno comes with an enhanced version of make, called pmake, which deals with
directives such as ".include" and ".if" in Makefiles.  The standard
Make include files are in share/mk in the 4.3reno sources.  The sources to the
modified make are in usr.bin/make; furthermore, there are several anonymous
ftp sites that archive it (ask archie for "pmake").
