Sorry.. I am so buried in machine builds right now I don't have any
time at all for doing much with this.  I know Nate is real busy too.

Since the only thing that sys/Makefile currently does is to go
down into libkern and build libkern for us I don't see a problem
with you committing at least that part of it.

I am always leary of changes to sys/i386/conf area, and to the .mk
files as it is easy to perturb builds when this stuff is changed.

I took a quick look at it, most of it is okay, there are some things
that I think need some more work, and some things I need to take a
much closer look at before I can say much about it.

PLEASE, some other folks out there grab this stuff and play with it.
I think this is very much headed in the right direction but it needs
to be pounded on before it goes in the tree.
