So that you don't need to have a vanilla 2.4.2 (or equiv.) tree, and a
USAGI kernel tree both on your HDD.

This kind of scenario is probably most common when you apply the USAGI
changes to non-vanilla sources.  If there was a patch, I would apply it to
Red Hat patched kernel.  After appplying, I'd check how the rejects would
be merged (if there aren't _too_ many of them) from CVSWeb.

But I guess I can waste another hundred MB of HDD space && download time
for this.
