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
