It would be easy to extend the existing awk scripts to support more
than one driver floppy.  Some environments or platforms may still have
a use for them, and it doesn't cause us much pain to continue to
support this configuration.  I'd certainly appreciate it if Ruslan or
anyone else updates driver-*.awk and src/release/Makefile to
generalize our driver floppy mechanism.

I talked about this with Ruslan and possibly others months ago.  I
think we've known for a while that we'd need to generalize this sooner
or later.
