We've already made the snapshot.  Also, catalyst uses genkernel for all
of the external modules builds, and we've already got things in place in
genkernel to do this, though it is a manual process on the part of the
Release Engineer.

This will definitely help us around 2007.0, though.  It will require
*much* more testing from us, though, as our current methods are very
well tested and I'm not comfortable squeezing in a change such as this
at the last minute with minimal testing, as it will definitely impact
our release schedule.
