/usr/src/domestic????????  *Please* tell me this is a joke.

$ cd /usr/src/domestic
bash: cd: /usr/src/domestic: No such file or directory

Just in case people have forgotten, this directory is supposed to contain 
code that can't be exported from the US because it contains 
export-restricted cryptography code and the like.  The domestic source 
isn't even kept on most of the ftp mirrors for this reason.  I can see no 
reason why it should contain the main entry points for bootstrapping the 
source tree.

No wonder I've found it such a pain to try and get things bootstrapped.

Richard.
