Is this going to be turned on be default in the rc scripts,
until such time as sysinstall is taught about asking the user

I cant get a kernel to compile without COMPAT_AOUT:

(pro2)201}make
linking kernel.debug
imgact_gzip.o: In function `do_aout_hdr':
../../../kern/imgact_gzip.c:280: undefined reference to `aout_sysvec'
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/pro2.

Works fine if I add options COMPAT_AOUT

I didn't have that problem when I rebuilt the kernel and world four or
five hours ago, but there's no rc.conf knob to load the aout module, so
setiathome failed to start when I rebooted the system.

This knob should probably also be connected to the code in /etc/rc that
runs ${ldconfig} -aout

options GZIP

is support for running gzipped a.out executables.  You probbly want to
remove that instead.

I thought it was for gzipped kernels which I use sometimes,
So I left it in.

You will need to either add:
options COMPAT_AOUT
to your kernel config when you next rebuild, or do a 'kldload aout'
when you want to run an old a.out binary.
