A hack to rebuild port KLDs during kernel builds

[Daniel O'Connor]

Hi,
I have a few "third party" KLDs on my system (nvidia, acpi_ppc, dell, if_ndis) 
and it's quite annoying to have to rebuild them each kernel build, or 
upgrade. I have thought about putting them in /boot/modules but I have had 
this crash on my fairly often (esp since I am running -current).

If you want to try it..
Apply the diff and make /usr/local/kld and copy port-makefile.txt there as 
Makefile.

Note that (obviously) the ports need to be tweaked to install the driver 
source and build infrastructure there, but that's not too hard (to do by hand 
for now anyway). I have the 4 I mentioned building just fine with 5 minutes 
work.
