VSTa self-hosted build

Self-hosted VSTa builds proceed nicely. ar(1) is now ported, and today I
successfully built libusr.a, the VSTa kernel, dbsym, and booted the kernel
built under VSTa. Next I'll convert the mkall.bat to a shell script, and
see about building the whole tree self-hosted.

Hmmm... speaking of shell scripts. Just about every shell script on earth
starts with "#!/bin/sh". If I don't have a VSTa /bin there, it'll be an
endless pain. What I think I'll do is use a union directory so / will be
bound first to the root of the DOS server, and next to /vsta. That'll give
you both full access to your DOS filesystem as well as placing the /bin and
/lib in their customary location.

Kudos to Plan9 for the very flexible concept of union directories! I don't
think I've ever used them, so there's probably a little debugging to be
done.
