Well, not completely.  I committed a Makefile-based build back in
December, and it works.

*sigh* I'm sure that these patches improve things, but they're really
bandaids on a conceptually broken build process.  I should have looked
earlier and pointed Omachonu at the "custom" target.  I see he looked
at it and made a fix, which was due to the change of a kernel option.
I assume this means he found no other problem with it.

There's no reason (apart from time) why we shouldn't adapt the
Makefile-based build to the other targets.  This seems a much better
way to go than to maintain the old build scripts, which aren't really
BSD-like.
