Why make it hard.

Right now we're copying the kernel to destdir by hand. Now change build.sh
to not only say, kernels built from BLABLA : <path> but, Your kernel and
modules from BLABLA now lie ready to use under : <paths>. Combined with
hubertf's suggestion to make the bootloader target a directory, would be
even cleaner. build.sh kernel=XXX ... kernel built resides in 
$OBJ/sys/arch/xxx/compile/XXX/netbsd <-- which is a dir containing the
kernel and all modules. Still being naive. I don't see why building
modules should be a different step than building a kernel. Don't want
modules? Have your kernel config say so, none will be built...
