I think we need to add more kernels to the next (2.0) release,
but *not* a seperate kernel for every single model (of course).
Suggestions welcome.

The supported (and easiest) way is to use "build.sh" to build a cross
tool-chain. With a full checkout of current "src", you could just do

   cd src
   ./build.sh tools kernel=MYKERNEL

in one step, assuming there's already a config called "MYKERNEL" in
.../src/sys/arch/mac68k/conf/MYKERNEL.
