i like that, approach, i was thinking that once this maping of the  
system into "features"
it should be possible to have some kind of system builder.

i picked around the net for such tool, and there happens to to exist  
2 somewhat worthy
applications in the "linux" world,

the infamous ALFS, that i never got to work past some point of  
compilation.
and there is another one named

something in that area would be great, and features could be added to  
the build scripts..
and ports could be included as features .. and so on ... i'm getting  
way ahead here .
but wouldn't it be good for BSD to have such tool ?

yes . that is what i was thinking about too ,
maybe some king of XML, inspired by the theory behind the ports system
i'm wondering if UML models would somehow apply here,
it could generate the XML.
i'm just throwing ideas.
