    Thanks. I actually cleaned up all this stuff earlier today, will
    probably do another release shortly.

    Suggestions? I'm rapidly exhausting a lot of the obvious candidates.
    My target build at the moment is ide + ext2 + proc + ipv4 + console, and
    that's currently at around 800K uncompressed, booting in a little less
    than 2.5MB. Hoping to get that under 2.
