the 'kernel install' change is losing for a couple of reasons:

(1) it'd be Really Nice if sites could easily override the defaults
for all of their machines.  e.g. at my site, i'd always set
/etc/mk.conf to say 'false' for the install target, since i really
don't want the kernels to ever be installed even if i accidentally say
'make install'.  To do that currently, you need N lines in
/etc/mk.conf where N is possibly quite large.  add a new machine type
and forget to add the mk.conf line, you lose.

(2) this code does:

	+ MACHINE_NAME!=  uname -n
	+ install: install-kernel-${MACHINE_NAME}

	(a) use of uname will break the functionality for
	    cross-compiles.

	(b) why not just use MACHINE, if you really want to do this?

	(c) it's probably better to have something like:

		KERNEL_INSTALL_TARGET?= default-install-kernel-${MACHINE}
		install: ${KERNEL_INSTALL_TARGET}

		and then:

		default-install-kernel-${MACHINE}: ...

	    or similar, so that people can override the target
	    entirely, so you can do (2) in some sane fashion.  they
	    could also provide MACHINE_ARCH-dependent defaults if
	    they wanted to, or really do whatever they watned.
