The problems here are that I don't touch the kernel nor the bootloader.
And how it's written now it's not possible to switch to a different
kernel (kFreeBSD -> Linux), because the new libc/userspace will assume
it's running over the old kernel. It's something that was in my TODO
list, but not for the first stable release. ;> I'll think about it.
Anyway for current systems I may install all current filesystem support
tools, or detect the ones used now.

I would need the uname strings including system and version, and the
options used. A problem is portability of the script, I think it has
now too much gnuisms. The other problem is bad filesystem support on
Linux.
