We cannot repo-copy it to src/sbin - there is a copy there already.  We
could blow the old one away and lose the history (RELEASE_2_0 and earlier)
but I guess that is no big deal these days.

Personally I would prefer it in src/usr.sbin/sysinstall and have it
dynamically linked.  The release crunchgen can still take the .o's and make
the giant /stand version..

dynamic:  390769
shared:   892921

On the other hand, if we had the static version in src/sbin, we could have
a "LINKS+= /sbin/sysinstall /stand/sysinstall" and blow away the old installed
version with each make world.  This would avoid POLA with people following old
instructions to run /stand/sysinstall.

Cheers,
-Peter
