Perhaps we need to abstract out the version number for -current entirely?

When the kernel is built, use the time in seconds as a timestamp.  Then 
check for that as a path component, and if that fails, then the version 
path.

This will let you install modules as desired, and yet keep a stable copy 
around for as long as you want.  Sure, you'll have to pass that 
timestamp off to the module install script, but oh well.
