A menu for changing where the /usr/src/linux symlink points to?
A menu for rm -rf /usr/src/linux-2.4.19?

I don't know how much easier it gets or am I missing something, ie, would
you change the version number gaze install linux reports?

On a related note:

I mentioned to Worf it might be curious to have mountall.sh (an init
script in the new init) symlink /usr/src/linux to linux-$(uname -r) on
boot.  Some spells would like that, but then you'd need to hold off on
building stuff for the new kernel until after next boot, which may not be
feasable.  Just some spells want to build to the running kernel, others,
what was last built (via either following the symlink or checking gaze
install linux).  Can we force the spells to one specific way?  The current
"way" seems like it works for most people's purposes.
