Actually, there isn't too much of a difference between 7.x and 8.x right
now (in comparison to what there will be later on), so I don't see why
make buildworld and buildkernel with their respective install targets
wouldn't be feasible. You just might have some extra junk libraries or
features sitting around your harddrive from 8.x that aren't present in
7.x, but not too many..
