I'm using the 2.0.2 source, though the directory doesn't exist in 2.0.1 
either.

I tried 'make kernel-depend' under sys-5.2.1/ and 
sys-5.2.1/i386-xeno/compile/XENCONF; I got the "no target by that name" 
message in both cases. I tried to follow your directions, but it was 
difficult since things started diverging about halfway through.

Understood, but I can't seem to find anyone who can say for sure it even 
works; I thought I'd be able to build it, and no dice. I've been dealing 
with another (unrelated) FreeBSD annoyance, as well, and it's getting to 
me. I'm just generally irritated today, don't take it too personally. :)

If that works, will this prohibit it from playing nice with Xen 2.0.2?
