Well, I was about to put in, then I thought about it a bit and I think
we actually don't want to increment the kernel version every time
quickworld is run. If any sources are modified it will increment the
version but if nothing has changed it probably shouldn't.
So I think the quickkernel target is fine.
I think what we do want to do is to make the 'buildkernel' target not
wipe away the 'version' file that holds the version number. I will
commit a change that does that, plus I'll also commit Michal's cleanup.

:I think I understand it now: doing a full buildkernel deletes the
:/usr/obj/ tree where 'version' is stored and so it is reset to 0.
:
:OTOH, the quickkernel target does not run newvers.sh, so the
:counter is not incremented. Does this sound correct?
:...
:This allows the 'version' number of the kernel to increment with
:each 'make quickkernel' :
