Thanks. Sorry, I must have missed it.

The change is needed, thanks.

I had a couple of points. Both minor in the context of the needed change.

The first is the maintenance of embedded the version numbers in the 
documentation. If we can avoid doing that the work per release or dot 
release is less.

The second is the changing of `kernel` to `src`. The use of `kernel` was 
specific because it removes any ambiguity when a new user attempts to 
build a package like libbsd in the same tree. Source can mean it is the 
place where all source is placed. I think `kernel` should be used and 
returned.
