Well, this is the minimum to let us (LFS) at least get a build process
together to upgrade from udev-182.  systemd as-is has too many build
dependencies for us to use it the way it is today.  I figured I'd see
what upstream thought about just doing the minimum we need first.  (We
can override variables at make time to build just the udev binary and
helpers.)

But if a --disable-systemd switch ends up getting committed, sure,
that'd work too.
