Not long ago I manually cut down a -current to run in 32MB but I
admit that there were a fair bit of stuff missing :-)

My main goal with this is to give us a common ground to work from,
and avoid us all reinventing the deep plate and the hot water over
and over again. 

Patches which improve it are most welcome :-)

PS: I've committed it to src/tools/tools/nanobsd in order to make
it easier for me now that the patches will be pouring in :-)

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
