probably the right thing to do a while ago but xorg has progressed
to the point that for novice users (who are the ones expected to think
installing X11 during an install...) it's best to just install the
whole x11/xorg metaport for them. This removes the X11 sub-menus
and sets it up so you just select whether or not you want X11. While
here garbage collect an X11 configuration menu I missed removing when
I removed support for attempting xorg configuration from inside sysinstall
a while ago.

default distribution (user) will be installed, however, no kernel

SMP/GENERIC, depending on WITH_SMP and number of CPUS found.

modern "make buildkernel" approach.

at runtime and to support distributing additional kernels:
o remove kernel from the base tarball
o add new kernel tarballs
o build + package both SMP and GENERIC kernels when an <arch>/conf/SMP
config file is present
o add sysinstall support for multiple kernels
o update sysinstall to probe for the number of cpus on a system
and auto-select smp/up kernel accordingly
o add a post-kernels install hook to fixup /boot/kernel
o add -ldevinfo to boot crunch for sysinstall's cpu probing logic
Notes:
1. On HEAD this code is not currently used because GENERIC kernels
include SMP. This work is mainly intended for RELENG_6 where the
GENERIC kernel is UP. If HEAD changes to match then just enable
WITH_SMP in sysinstall/Makefile.
2. The cpu probing support is done with acpi and MPTable; this means
some systems will require work for auto-detection to work.
3. The handling of /boot/kernel may need to be revisited; for now
we rename one kernel at the last moment (SMP if installed, otherwise
GENERIC). There are other, possibly better, approaches.
Lots of help from ru, emaste, scottl, and jhb.
this now compiles on i386 with WARNS?= 3. Most of the fixes included
adding missing 'static' keywords to internal functions, using fully-defined
terminators in statically defined arrays of structs, and various
signed vs unsigned mismatches. Also G/C'd unused configSecurity()
function.

needed to be statically populated with device nodes. The first two are no
longer true, which makes the third pretty moot. In fact, we don't seem to
put device node bits into the distribution archives at all anymore.
So..... remove the god-aweful nasty hack that force unmounted devfs during
installation so that static device nodes could land in /dev. Now that the
vnode cleaner handles this case better this isn't strictly needed, but
axeing code in sysinstall is almost always benficial. Thanks to Don Lewis
for pointing out this attribute of sysinstall.
'base' dist rename.
- Rework struct dist to allow for different types of dists. There are
currently three types of dists: DT_TARBALL, the traditonal gzipped and
split tar file; DT_PACKAGE, a package; and DT_SUBDIST, a meta-dist in
the tree that has its own array of dists as its contents. For example,
the 'base' dist is a DT_TARBALL dist, the 'perl' dist is a DT_PACKAGE
dist, and the 'src' dist is a DT_SUBDIST dist with its own dist table
that contains 'sbase', 'ssys', etc.
- Add helper macros for defining array entries for the different types of
dists to try and make the statically defined dist table in dist.c more
readable.
- Split the logic to deal with a DT_TARBALL dist out of distExtract()
and into its own distExtractTarball() function. distExtract() now
calls other functions to extract each dist.
- Tweak the percentage complete calculation in distExtractTarball() to
do the multiply prior to the divide so it doesn't have to use floating
point.
- Axe the installPackage() function along with the special handling for
the perl and XFree86 dists in distExtractAll() since distExtract()
handles package dists directly now.
- Add back in subdists for the X packages based on the split up packages
that XFree86-4 uses that as closely map to the X dists we used with
X 3.3.x.
- Lots of things like distSetX() and the X dist masks are no longer
#ifndef X_AS_PKG since we use them in both cases now.
- Make the entire installFixupXFree() function #ifndef X_AS_PKG, we only
call it in that case anyways, and it's not suitable for the X_AS_PKG
case.
- Add in X dist menus for the X_AS_PKG case.

rather than installX11package().
- Add a perl psuedo-dist that installs the perl package. The perl
distribution is selected by default when a User distribution set is
selected. It is not selected when a Minimal distribution set is
selected. The perl distribution may be toggled manually in the
custom menu just as other distributions.
Approved by: re
Also add the ability to use Bzip'ed distributions -- but this is exclusive
of being able to use Gzip'ed distributions.
