Could we fix things to make a full system build easier?

Either by providing a script or changing shit so that just a mk invocation 
works in /sys/src.

Right now there are tons of issues like rebuilding the compiler, 
rebuilding libc, etc that you have to keep track manually.

Even ignoring issues like "should a user be required to know about all of 
this?" it's a frigging pain to keep up and I'd much rather just have one 
command that's guaranteed [ok, maybe that attempts to guarantee] to give 
me a sensible build outcome.
