Yes, except that there isn't a good way to put an objdir in a non-leaf
directory in an instance like this. It would require more Makefile
hacking than would be nice. (I know, I looked at doing it this
weekend.)

A directory to throw this stuff in and also give me a place to deal
with some of the other temp files generated during snapshot
construction would be much appreciated. Failing having them here, I
might create a directory for it in src/distrib

I've already done all of that work and a lot more.

I'd like to change UNPRIVILEGED to UNPRIVED, btw. It's too long to type.
