Join the club. :)

Denis Vlasenko is toying with resyncing our build system with the linux 
kernel/klibc build system.  I have high hopes for this, and have encouraged 
him to bounce messages off the list about it rather than emailing me and the 
kernel developers privately.

(Meanwhile, I have a directory of ~20 "ok, look at this closely and maybe 
merge" patches to go through this evening.  AND I need to catch up on _last_ 
week's busybox weekly news.  I work based on momentum so I need to make a 
habit of getting that out every week...)
