Fairly safe, except it might depend on my previous changes in syscons.
They were fairly carefully ordered.  You probably want all of them
except colorized kernel console output with default colors that not
everyone would like.

Syscons an be fixed much more easily by not using scteken (teken upper
layers and scteken.c).  scterm-sc.c from FreeBSD-7 requires only 46
lines of patches to work again.  Known lost functionality in scteken
will take an estimated 2000 lines of patches to fix.  I have written
about 1/3 of these.
