I'm getting closer to figuring out where they are coming from ...
(more later, hopefully)  :-)

I have it running now with /etc mounted as aufs.  It needed more things
available at that point in the boot process (/proc , /dev and /var/tmp)
than UnionFS needed.

I think I'll go with aufs since UnionFS was giving me a bunch of weird
warnings.  (that appears to be a common complaint)

Easier?  (the upgrade to a new version script was a real pain to fix! :)

I don't know about _easier_, but it sure makes the saved config tarfile
a WHOLE LOT _smaller_!!!!!!   :-)

I plan on running a fresh/mrproper compile tonight.  If all goes well, I
hope to check it in tomorrow.
