[darwinbuild] using darwinbuild for pure darwin projects?

Do you use Xcode? If so, it should "just work", and essentially  
"xcodebuild install DSTROOT=/tmp/foo.dst" will be used to product  
your kext and associated files.

If you're makefile based, you need to conform to some of the makefile  
targets documented here <http://opendarwin.org/projects/darwinbuild/ 
doc/build/index.html#installhdrs>, like "make install", "make  
installsrc", etc.

If you have both a makefile and an xcode project, darwinbuild will  
prefer the xcode project.

If this is too onerous, we could investigate alternate  
specifications. For instance, DarwinPorts gives you full control over  
what the source is named, what compression it uses, and what the  
directory will extract to. That hasn't been much of a problem so far.

Additionally, projects can override source_sites and binary_sites  
specially:
xar = {
                         source_sites = (
                                 "http://www.opendarwin.org/projects/ 
xar/",
                                 "http://release.opendarwin.org/ 
release/8.2.1/Sources/",
                         );
                         version = 1.0;
                 };
}

In this case, the official "xar-1.0.tar.gz" is posted on xar's web  
page, but we add our own source_sites for patches that may be  
downloaded.

binary_sites should probably be hosted all together for consistency.
