I'm not sure I follow you.  I just want something that is divorced
from /usr/src (so that you can blow that away and recreate it) yet
coupled with make world so that if any of `n' admins wanders in there
and does a make world, it does the right thing on whichever machine
they happen to be on.  Most folks seem to like the idea so far.

nit nit nit. :-)
