I should have looked earlier and pointed Omachonu at the "custom" target. I see he looked at it and made a fix, which was due to the change of a kernel option. I assume this means he found no other problem with it. There's no reason (apart from time) why we shouldn't adapt the Makefile-based build to the other targets. This seems a much better way to go than to maintain the old build scripts, which aren't really BSD-like.
