Hmm.  'make install' does a lot more than just installing modules,
does it not?  Besides, aren't modules installed as part of
installkernel?  (I always thought they were, but I guess I do
not really know for sure, and I do not feel like checking into
it right now).

Make install is more like installworld combined with installkernel,
since it will do:

    for entry in share/info include lib libexec bin \
              games gnu kerberos5 rescue sbin secure share sys \
              usr.bin usr.sbin etc; do
        [...] make install  DIRPRFX=$edir/;
    done

I personally don't really care what targets you add, so do not
take my comments too seriously.  I am just trying to think up
some questions to make sure the right steps are being proposed.
