I'm trying to automate this whole thing (since I've had to resplit it a
dozen times already), and even making mfd a special case that wants
splitting finer than by subsystem, I honestly have no idea how to
automatically determine a split like *that*. I can't split on file, on
subsystem, on dashes in the names... I think I'd have to literally parse
the makefile to figure out which things belonged together in commits,
and that's getting ridiculous even for me.

So, if you don't mind, I'd rather do it by subsystem or by file :)
