The configure scripts require packages that are not in LFS. We do not
want to add them just to satisfy a systemd build that we don't want.
However creating a custom Makefile to build udev from the current
systemd sources was not particularly hard.

I understand that big distros only want to support one methodology, but
in my opinion systemd is a solution only needed by a very small
percentage of users. It is quite opaque for new users trying to
understand the boot process. We don't use an initrd for the same reason.

The nice thing about Linux is that one size does not have to fit all.
