if the patches are really small adn the resulting build is well tested 
(ignoring the actual _move_ operation), I'm ok with taking them.

In fact, in many ways I'd _prefer_ to do it now, rather than have it 
pending and then do it durign the next merge window when there are a lot 
of non-movement changes too.

Well, simple and simple. I'd love to see x86 done, but you yourself said 
you haven't even dared look at UM. Which is the thing that is most likely 
to have odd build things with direct symlinks etc.

(But I haven't looked either. Maybe I'm wrong, and it's all trivial).
