What can we do to make it modular?

We need to devise an install thing that will allow for a choice of components
and build a customised picoBSD. Also if we could define settings to which it
has to fullfill that would be a major plus... Like:

Memory footprint allowed:

4< MB
4 MB
5 MB
etc...

Allow me to poll NetBSD and OpenBSD on small set-ups
