every system component now has its own self-contained build system, and a
seed file describing the component and its build system and dependencies.
a new tool, meadow, collects and uses these seed files to build the
components into a full system. meadow also manages the target system root
and a host prefix where toolchain tools are installed to.
the build system has also been updated to use a new $ARCH-rosetta-gcc
compiler, and the patches files necessary to build it have been
added to toolchain/cross-compiler.
ifc can be used to compile .if files into self-contained header-only C
libraries, which can be used to send/receive messages that conform
to the described interface.
