I realized I still had this sitting in my "to-do" list. This just adds
some comments to the Oldconfig.U unit about why we need to put in a
special case for the Hurd, and why it doesn't just fall back correctly on
the BSD-like behavior that I had expected.
Sorry if this doesn't quite apply cleanly; I don't have a recent check-out
of the metaconfig units, and the machine on which I used to do metaconfig
work is in broken pieces on my lab table; I haven't quite gotten all the
pieces back together on my replacement system (an old SPARC Ultra).
