This is nice!

Nithin already mentioned this, I just want to add some details. When I
compile on Linux, building the linux kernel module is optional.
i.e without the "--with-linux=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build", one does
not need to build the kernel module.
It would be nice to have the same for Windows. Currently the usespace
compilation is painfully slow (I have been scouring over the internet
to figure out how to efficiently do a parallel build, without any
luck), let us not make it more slower.
