For those reviewing these changes and looking through issues still
open, my plan is to release a 2045 soon (within next month or three),
but then again this release was meant to come out 2 years ago.  So no
promises.

My next changes are to complete and update share (there is a branch
that brings all the latest features to Borland build and still works
with Open Watcom, but needs some work for GCC-ia16, though the
features are ported from current gcc version -- uninstall and related
options, also smaller resident footprint) and update so sys is also a
git submodule.  GPT support may or may not be in the next release
depending on how much time I have, but will likely only be for Open
Watcom and GCC compiled kernels.

A future change, possibly sooner than later is to change the build
system to use gmake on all platforms and compilers for a single
consistent build infrastructure.  I am still open to other versions of
make, but gmake so far seems the best fit to support Linux, Windows
32/64, and DOS building.  The current build system with each compiler
using its own make is very fragile and I waste more time than I care
and causes more issues for others to build - the goal is reduce
friction for anyone to build their own custom kernel (and that
includes me when I haven't built it in a while or I update my
development computer).
