Damn, how did that happen?  Me and my big mouth! :-)

I think that's livable, provided that it works of course.  I'll do some

Actually, since you're in there already.. :-)

Some folks have asked for the ability to use their own sys.mk and
override the hardwiring in make.  That certainly makes sense to me, so
maybe _PATH_DEFSYSMK should have an optional "HOST_ROOT" environment
variable expanded before it, or something to that effect?
