>Description:
	When pkgtools/libkver is installed and used as intended
	(as documented in kver.3 that it supplies), and as used
	by pkg_comp, programs that use linux emulation fail to run,
	as they get LD_PRELOAD'd with libkver along with everything
	else.

	See (the now closed) PR pkg/29700 for details of one of the
	problems this causes, along with a discussion, which all led
	to the brilliant observation by OBATA Akio (obache@) that this
	could all be solved installing a dummy do-nothing version of
	libkver.so inside /emul/linux

	This patch adds such a dummy library to the libkver package
	so (when appropriate) it can be used.

	It works.

	The dummy library supplied might not be the best dummy library
	anyone could invent - I did not experiment, "works" was quite
	good enough for me!   But feel free to make an even smaller one.

	Along with that change, I also took the liberty of removing the
	long dead standalone-install target from libkver's Makefile.
	See PR pkg/38651 for details.   If this patch is adopted, that
	PR can close as well.   However, if this is done (the removal of
	standalone-install is retained) then pkgtools/pkg_comp will break.
	It uses (well, attempts to use, since it is broken, it fails...)
	the standalone-install target.   I will be submitting a companion
	PR to this one with an update to pkg_comp - they should probably
	be applied together.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try running pkg_comp with NETBSD_RELEASE defined to be something
	other than "no" in pkg_comp's config file.   Then - if you're able
	to get the sandbox built at all, try using that pkg_comp sandbox
	to build something like lan/sun-jre16  (anything that runs a
	linux emulated binary while building.)   More failure...

>Fix:
	Apply the following patch in pkgtools/libkver.

	I took the liberty of moving from libkver 0.6 to libkver 1.0
	with this update (but obviously anything > 0.6 would do).

	I also added a meaningless (commented out) LICENCE definition
	(yes, spelled correctly, and I know pkgsrc accepts either...)
	as a reminder that someone should ask seb@ what licence conditions
	apply to his code.

	This isn't a "cvs diff" as I've never managed to make that
	correctly process new created directories.

	Use 'patch -p1' to apply this patch (why 1?  beats me, it works...)
