Be warned that the mirror program may not like this... I use mirror
regularly to update the updates directory from redhat -- So, extra
files that you add (and possibly even extra directories), may get
removed accidentally by mirror.
I think it might be better to special-case the kernel rpms in
update.pl, rather than putting it into another directory.
