I had to add kinit & friends already now. So I have used the 0.152 versions.
So far with following directory layout:

usr/lib  <= klibc
usr/kinit <= kinit
usr/kinit/nfsmount
	nfsmount is built as an executable and a built-in.o file.
usr/kinit/ipconfig
	Same comments as for nfsmount

Are there any need for nfsmount.a (besides kinit)?


I do not include the tests in klibc/tests, and the MAkefile support are deleted.

What about the include files?

kernelsrc/include/klibc?
- This is where users are used to find headers anyway.

kernelsrc/usr/include?
- To make is clear this is about early userspace

kernelsrc/lib/include <= today, but hidden too much.
- Header are for a user more important than implementation.

Preferred alternative listed first..
