MIDI support, FM synthesis...

Oh, yes! I forgot to add: more architecture ports, beginning with MIPS
and Sparc.

I also forgot to add: now that we've seen that PicoBSD works, perhaps
it's time to take it beyond the proof-of-concept stage? In its current
state, it's nowhere near production quality and I'm sure Bruce would
have a fit if he ever stumbled across some of the code in there. I
also think it's wrong to have PicoBSD hidden away in src/release, and
to have tinyware hidden away in PicoBSD.

One more thing: fixing the build system to make it possible to make a
static binary of *any* program by just defining a symbol (e.g. cd
/usr/src/usr.bin/tftp ; make -DSTATIC)
