What if I don't *want* to build all of it? That's the whole reason for the 
miniports. What is the difference between that and the megaport? If I just 
want to rebuild -clients, do I have to build the *whole* thing? 

IMO That approach totally defeats what was just done. You've essentially
said, make it a megaport again, but then fake OpenBSD MULTI_PACKAGES.
