	It could build 'instkernel' if present, or fail out if not.
	In an ideal world every port should have that target.

	If there are more than one inst kernel then instkernel should
	build all of them.

	Any such target would run the 'make includes' and 'make && make
	install' in lib as necessary. Possible force -D usage with it.
