Collapse of the pgoyette-compat branch

[Paul Goyette <paul%whooppee.com@localhost>]

Folks,

Having reached today a significant milestone (conversion of the
rtsock_50 code to use function-pointers for callbacks), I'm ready
to collapse/merge the pgoyette-compat branch into HEAD.  Current
status of the branch, including a list of open items, can be found
at

	[pgoyette-compat]src/doc/TODO.compat-module

The only thing that's holding me back from committing is an inability
to commmit to timely resolution of any fallout that might arise, due
to $PERSONAL_LIFE issues.  But, given that most people actually don't
use modules anyway, any delays in fixing the fallout should likely
have minimal impact.  With luck, we'll actually get this into HEAD in
time for netbsd-9 after all!  (And christos@ has encouraged me to go
ahead and commit sooner rather than later!)

So, I'm planning to commit within the next two weeks (around the 27th
or 28th of January).  Until then, I'll respond to comments/reviews as
best as I can.
