Hi Chuck,

I was wondering if this is still a WIP.  I am seeing that modules are
built with-in /sys/modules.  This breaks using a read-only /usr/src, and
causes file polution for ``cvs up''.  Worse if you build kernel FOO and a
week later build kernel BAR; you are unable to ``cd /sys/compile/FOO ;
make install'' as you don't have the modules that match kernel FOO any
longer.  Of course we never did, but the move of the modules from world
builds to kernel builds was to get around such issues.  It really would
be better to build modules with-in /sys/compile/<NAME>/modules.
