Right now "compat" automatically implies aout since all existing
"compat" distributions are pre-3.0.  When FreeBSD 3.2 rolls
around we will likely have both elf *and* aout compat
distributions. For the moment it looks odd having /.../lib/compat
empty save an aout directory, but in time it will fill.
