Indeed :)

I'm just building a new make infrastructure.
I can do the following:

src/lib/libh
		Makefile
		/include
		/common
		/database
		/disk
		/file
		/hui
		/sysinstall
		/tcl
src/usr.bin/<libh's TclInterpretername>
This "world" version builds only TVision support, and is not connected
to buildworld until we know what to do with TVision and Tcl.
This are also the first things I'd like to import.

Later, we can add:

src/usr.bin/diskedit
		libh diskeditor written in Tcl
src/usr.bin/<package-stuff>
		libh Tcl package system scripts

then, for releases, we do

src/release/libh
		none		<- no GUI support, for pkg-stuff (if needed)
		graphics	<- Qt only (if needed)
		text		<- TVision (trimmed for floppy-installs)
		text+graphics	<- Qt + TVision (CD-ROM installs)

		scripts		<- installation scripts, aka sysinstall2

We need to build these different versions since the libs either
have support for Qt/TVision or not.
