    I'll have to read this more deeply, of course, but I had only one knee-jerk reaction:

    This *seems* sensible, especially as you've put buildctl at the top-level in the omnios-build half of the split.

    It seems right now, however, that buildctl still assumes it's in build/. instead of one directory above it.  It's also not 100% clear that the functions in lib/ have been altered to assume site.sh and config.sh are in build instead of lib.

    I'd like to see what all changed in any scripts that now live in the "build" half of your split vs. their original pre-split incarnations.  Not sure if github or a tool like webrev would be able to help here.

    Also, I've been documenting buildctl and my wrapper - OmniOS-on-demand - which generates the bloody bits.  I will have one push upstream to help here.
