I think it already is.  picobsd/floppy.tree is the template,
picobsd/profile/floppy.tree overrides it, and
picobsd/profile/floppy.tree.exclude omits the listed files.

The tree needs cleaning up though, there are plenty of redundant files.
And, I want to place /etc files in the MFS image, for static files that
won't need editing, for instance.
