   I'll think about it.  I have come to realize that __link_set_* is  
   really not so great, and that the right thing to do is to force each  
   subsystem to have "init" and "fini" routines that are called based on  
   a dependency graph.


i agree.  we should move away from link sets even tho they are really
quite handy...
