Rather then combining hardlink creation for the geom(8) binary with
shared library build, move libraries to src/lib/geom so they are
built and installed normally. Create a common Makefile.classes
which is included by both lib/geom/Makefile and sbin/geom/Makefile
so the symlink and libraries stay in sync.
The relocation of libraries allows libraries to be build for 32-bit
compat. This also reduces the number of non-standard builds in
the system.
This commit is not sufficent to run a 32-bit /sbin/geom on a 64-bit
system out of the box as it will look in the wrong place for libraries
unless GEOM_LIBRARY_PATH is set appropriatly in the environment.

and finish the job. ncurses is now the only Makefile in the tree that
uses it since it wasn't a simple mechanical change, and will be
addressed in a future commit.
RELEASE_CRUNCH builds use NO_MAN anyway, so this change is primarily
to avoid that developers have to set NO_MAN manually when they build
the static variant.
and define STATIC_GEOM_CLASSES when building the rescue binary. This way
geom can more easily be part of other crunched binaries, as it requires
only a Makefile change.
GEOM classes. It works by loading a shared library via dlopen(3) mechanism
with class-specific code, it is also responsible for communicating with
GEOM via libgeom(3).
Per-class shared libraries are going to be stored in /lib/geom/ directory.
It provides also few standard commands like 'list', 'load' and 'unload'
for existing classes which aren't aware of geom(8).
More info will be send on freebsd-current@ mailing list.
