TODO revision 1.9

      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   + something toolchain-based?
     13 * make it possible for kernel components to define private hypercalls.
     14   the implementation is trivial (just do it), but the build system makes
     15   things very difficult (if you want to find out why, just try it).
     16 * the .a semantics do not make sense for rump kernel components.
     17   additionally, they cannot be loaded as modules since they are
     18   ar's instead of elf objects.  make the build produce and use elf
     19   objects instead of archives
     20 * cleanup remaining uses of __ in the kernel
     21 * rump_syscalls.c in librump should be compiled in the client
     22   namespace, not the rump kernel namespace.  while technically trivial,
     23   the build system makes this quite difficult.  one option for "cheating"
     24   would be to put it into librumpuser which is always available for
     25   local clients (per definition of local client).
     26 * add autoconf support to librumpuser to clean up the #ifdef acrobatics
     27   and fix some of the issues that cannot be handled purely with static
     28   ifdefs (autoconf to be used for non-native builds only)
