I don't really recommend sigle-user for `make world'.  Did it in
multi-user, and it doesn't seem to be a real problem.  (Some minor
oddities when it comes to programs that use libkvm, like ps or
netstat, but that's tolerable if you know about it.)

Hold your breath for a moment however, Jordan was thinking about
preparing a 2.2-SNAP release eventually.  (The _first_ 2.2 snap at
all!)  The time seems to be a good one for this, -current appears to
be in a good shape these days.
