3* integrate build framework with config(1) to stop the need to
4  maintain a separate build infrastructure.  the remaining step
5  is to rewrite the Makefiles to use  source file lists generated
6  with config(1) (where possible)
7  + this will also benefit kernel modules
8  + the patch to config(1) exists but is not in-tree.  remaining work is
9    modifications to files.*
10* find a better solution for rumpdefs.h, the sed "solution"
11  doesn't really scale nicely
12  + everything except deeply embedded (i.e. small) can use:
13    http://github.com/justincormack/rumprun
14* the .a semantics do not make sense for rump kernel components.
15  additionally, they cannot be loaded as modules since they are
16  ar's instead of elf objects.  make the build produce and use elf
17  objects instead of archives
18* cleanup remaining uses of __ in the kernel
19* rump_syscalls.c in librump should be compiled in the client
20  namespace, not the rump kernel namespace.  while technically trivial,
21  the build system makes this quite difficult.  one option for "cheating"
22  would be to put it into librumpuser which is always available for
23  local clients (per definition of local client).
24* add autoconf support to librumpuser to clean up the #ifdef acrobatics
25  and fix some of the issues that cannot be handled purely with static
26  ifdefs (autoconf to be used for non-native builds only)
