Mike first asked me to dump the present loader versioning system back
when 3.x was current. I never found the time to sit down and figure out
how to do it right, though.
Besically, we want to get rid of
src/sys/boot/{alpha,i386}/loader/version, and replace that with a simple
#define. I'd suggest src/sys/boot/common/bootstrap.h as destination, as
I loath (sp?) the idea of having overall loader functionality be
machine-dependent, but... <shrug>
We also want it to be something more like __FreeBSD_version,
number-wise.
While doing the above is straight-forward, I do not know how the present
version stuff is processed/linked.
Lame excuse, but... <shrug>
