    I suggest you focus on the config(8) part first. Find out how best to
    specify what to build given that (MACHINE_ARCH,MACHINE) doesn't quite
    capture it. If it's backwards compatible then we don't actually have
    to reorganize the source tree yet, which allows you to finish your
    initial goal and also allows mips and powerpc to play with it a bit
    before we commit to it by moving pc98 code around.

    I can help out, but more on a theoretical front. You probably want
    people like nyan@, jmallet@, benno@, grehan@ or imp@ to validate
    concepts with reality or provide you with the input you need to
    sketch the problem space.
