just to clarify something, are we discussing stuff that is still
applicable under the latest repo checkout of openwrt?  just want to
make sure of that, because that's what i prefer to use.   living life
on the edge and all that.

ah, i was unaware of that.  so even if i do "make package/symlinks" so
that i can select *all* possible packages, that still won't affect
that fourth option in "make menuconfig" -- i'd still physically have
to copy those packages under the "package" directory?  (and, if that's
true, i'd assume that just symlinking that package would work just as
well, no?)
