There's the headers too.

Yes, this I've just fixed (webrev not yet updated).

I'm tired too.  Get better.

I'll publish a new webrev soon.  Yes, I've rejected some comments.  I'll
keep the install-sfw DESTDIR thing, and fix_elf_runpath().

I was thinking of future volunteers to integrate *other* things.

This code review has taken enormous amounts of energy for me.  I can't
keep this up folks, not when I have a day job (including a pending P1 CR
fix to putback into ON, several code reviews on which I'm late, etc...).

Folks, please stop picking on things that aren't ideal but which _work_.

Clearly there will be lots of issues, for future SFW components, like
the ones we've discussed in this review, so coming up with a useful set
of guidelines would be nice, but let's do that separately from this code
review.
