It fails:

sb-bsd-sockets
sb-concurrency
sb-introspect
sb-simple-streams

I didn't include the diffs to make-config.sh as I thought it would
be better if it got a bit more testing first.

It could also be easier to work out how to do a port if there were
closer links between the different features.

The patch was generated against CVS, I don't use git.
