The big issue there is bootstrapping--we'd really like to run without 
anything fancy enabled, or modules. It could be a rather non-trivial thing 
to do. (Of course, we could have the make program generate a static 
platform build script for the bootstrap phase, which is likely what we'll 
ultimately do)
