I know this may sounds a little weird, but I suggest we
don't bother 'managing' the contents.
So far, we've been using one /emul for all our releases
(and making all the new ones point to the old one) and just updating
that volume when the need arises. This has the advantage of
not locking us to ay particular release-type thing (which is
important since the FreeBSD and Linux releases are completely independent)
Most importantly, this lets us install new shared libs when they
become part of the default for the other OS's (and so the precompiled
binaries people use demand them).
