Consider the following commit:

 r89471 | joerg | 2002-01-17 21:26:14 +0100 (Thu, 17 Jan 2002) | 8 lines

 Provide an option to make camcontrol `minimalistic': if the (env/make)
 variable RELEASE_BUILD_FIXIT is defined, a camcontrol binary will be
 built that only knows the "rescan" and "reset" subcommands.  The
 resulting code is small enough to still fit onto the boot floppy.

This makes /stand/camcontrol completely useless.

Do we still care about fitting sysinstall on a floppy?

The full camcontrol is about 100 kB larger than the pared-down version,
but I'm not sure the difference is that big when it's crunched with the
rest of /stand.
