Thanks, Ken.  Both Larry and Tim hammered away on my hard head during
lunch until I "got" it.

What I want to fix is that there is build dependencies that are outside
the tree (branch subdirectory), which is what makes this particular evil
necessary.

There is a nice way to fix that, but it will need to be done on a branch
that is far out into the future, so not in Lambo.  Maybe DeLorean.
It would involve a bit of a workflow change for everyone, which is
why it needs a while, but it would allow us to get rid of all symlinks
outside of a tree, but not require that everyone build their own openbsd.
I'm thinking it might be a good thing to wait until I'm a little less
new before embarking on that bit of rearchitecture, however.  So you
have a few more weeks before you have to worry about everything getting
completely broken. ~:^)

If you want to hear about my [possibly nutty] ideas, feel free to drop
by and beat them out of me.

Cheers,

a
