Log:
The target `all' evoluted into a kitchen-sink these days... It's no
longer really suitable as a default to create the various /dev nodes
to be contained on the fixit floppy, since all our proud new devide
nodes finally made the fixit floppy run over...
So instead create a new target titled `fixit' which creates just the
dev nodes for a single unit per each default driver; whoever needs
more of them is free to create whatever he needs, perhaps after
killing unused nodes before. There were more than 700 /dev nodes on
the floppy before that action, and it's still around 350 now. I doubt
all the various /dev/ugen* entries are really useful on such a tool,
so people, please check, and if you feel like more could be eliminated
from that floppy, kill'em.
While i was at it, removed traces of ft(8) that still survived even
though the driver has long since been dead.
That's step #1. #2 will follow...
