[darwinbuild] BIG CHANGES

[Kevin Van Vechten]

!!! The sources in CVS at src/build/darwinbuild will no longer be  
maintained.  They have moved to proj/darwinbuild !!!

The new darwinxref is fully functional, and darwinbuild has been  
updated to use it.  The proj/darwinbuild directory contains a fully- 
functional darwinbuild, with the exception of the auxiliary scripts  
(i.e. installheaders, packageRoots) and plists for any of the Darwin  
7 builds.  Once I move these over, I'll produce a darwinbuild-0.6  
release.

Some notable changes:

* darwinbuild and darwinxref are now installed into /usr/local
* darwinbuild can download plists from OpenDarwin.og
* darwinbuild -init <build> can be used to initialize the current  
directory as a build environment
     $ mkdir /tmp/8A428
     $ cd /tmp/8A428
     $ darwinbuild -init 8A428
     $ sudo -s
     # darwinbuild xnu

* new builds can be bootstrapped using the -depsbuild argument,  
specifying which build dependencies should be pulled from
     $ mkdir /tmp/8B15
     $ cd /tmp/8B15
     $ darwinbuild -init 8B15
     $ sudo -s
     # darwinbuild -depsbuild=8A428 xnu
