One Big Crunch

Been gone from here for two years, mostly using Fedora & Ubuntu professionally.
That's changed now, and I had to get back to here.

Here's the monster bump.  It will break things, it will break you, I don't care
to break this down into individual commits, because a lot of this will take
refining over the next couple of weeks.  All I know is that it works right now
on an up-to-date Pentoo box.  Enjoy.  Heh.
