variants. This allows usable file system images (i.e. those with both a
shell and an editor) to be created with only one copy of the curses library.

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.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
This uses the existing crunchgen infrastructure to build
a series of tools designed to replace the base and networking
tools on an embedded system.
It reuses 'bsd.crunchgen.mk' to drive the actual file
creation. The rescue build system also uses this.
Unlike busybox, it doesn't include its own source - instead,
it just builds from the sources in /usr/src/ and leverages
the existing BSD framework.
Thie is still quite messy and could do with a whole lot of
cleaning up. However it is proving to be very useful with
my current build framework, allowing me to build binary root
images that are about 30% less than simply cherrypicking files
and libraries from an installworld.
