Agreed, but as has been hashed out, there is no way of bootstrapping right now inside the Makefiles. You can't do it automatically due to races, so until a Real (tm) solution is found where folks can automatically bootstrap, this is the temporary solution. Julian already is trying to get a -current system running so he can solve the problem, so it only slows us down. Nate
