FYI, next up on ye-olde agenda for me is a vkernel -p pidfile option
(right now am kludging via $!). This should be quick, but won't have a
chance until after the shutdown script cleanup , so probably won't
happen until sat. evening at the earliest.

Also, for discussion sake, should the vkernel actually be
installed somewhere outside of the build tree? I know manual copying is
an option, but this is messy IMHO

Thinking either

1) /usr/bin/vkernel

   This isn't 'clean' compared to the rest of the source tree
  (e.g. /usr/src/usr.bin), unless the vkernel sources are moved there,
  but that would probably be tricky build wise.

  Perhaps installing there would be a justified 'special case' ?
  (could put pointer doc if needed for clarification)

2) /vkernel

   Keeps more with the 'traditional' /vmunix, /bsd, /kernel , etc,
   but perhaps is 'clutter' in terms of not really being true
   'system' code..

anyhow.. good to see my simple patch inspring something :)
