Perhaps my use of the word "entire" was too harsh. I agree that the "includes" are the primary problem, but while we are at it, we should allow for things such as alternate compilers, etc. Thus, for example, the problem that someone else was having with a changed "config" would have been automatically addressed because the newer "config" becomes a transition tool. Ideally, I would like to be able to specify a system and the location of a file system root and have a bootable system built there. I would also like to see "make" work without the "make world" sequence. IOW, I just installed some changed files in the tree. Executing "make" at the top level should rebuild everything necessary.
