I'd like to start the builds at 1800PST today.  John has a couple of
sysinstall fixes that he is considering putting in, and Warner should
have the final devd checkin done by then.  The devfs item is going
to have to be postponed until after 5.0R.  I'm still working on the
mly driver bug, and if/when I get a fix we can consider whether or
not to put it into 5.0R.  Soeren submitted a rather vague MFC
request for the ata driver, but hasn't reponded to my queries to be
more specific.  It's probably ok to go ahead without waiting for
him.

I can do the i386 and alpha builds.  John mentioned doing the
sparc64 builds a few days ago, and David O'brien has also
volunteered to help with them.  I'm ambivolent about who does
them, though I know that I had a big learned curve with them
the last time around.  I also assume that our pc98 and ia64 gurus
will step in for those builds.

Unless Kris says differently, I imagine that ftp-master contains the
'official' package build for i386, alpha, and sparc64?

Please let me know of any concerns/comments.
