jhalfs and kernel tree

Hi,

AFAICS when I use jhalfs with kernel build enabled, jhalfs
treats the
kernel the same way as the rest of the packages, that is,
the source
tree is removed when the build terminates.

I find this annoying -- usually people keep around kernel
sources so
that they can compile third party stuff against it or
modules which were
disabled at the time of building the kernel image.

Could you have an option which implies that the source tree
won't be
deleted? (In fact, there could be such an option for each
package --
eg., if I was to hack glibc, it would cool then that I
don't have to
restart the whole build when I modify something. But for
now, I'd be
happy with having the kernel sources kept around.)

That implies that the kernel sources should be moved to
/usr/src with the 
right ownership. That is done only when building HLFS due
that the commands 
to do that are actually in the book.

If you can convince the LFS and CLFS teams to use similar
kernel build 
instructions than HLFS, then jhalfs will keep the kernel
tree by default.

Another option is to edit the Makefile to replace the lines
that deletes the 
kernel tree by commands to place it elsewhere.
