The first rough elements of the sysctl documentation harvesting
system:

 - sysctlharvest is a Perl script that gathers information about
   sysctls from the system it runs on and outputs it as either a
   single XML file or one file per node.

 - sysctlfromelf is a C program that extracts information about
   sysctls from kernel and module binaries and outputs it as a single
   XML file.

Still to do:

 - sysctlharvest should be able to read existing XML data, including
   both its own output and output from sysctlfromelf.

 - sysctlfromelf was written with the assumption that sysctl
   information can be read from modules independently.  In fact, it
   needs to load the kernel first, then perform relocation on the
   modules to be able to resolve parent-child relationships.

Nice to have:

 - sysctlharvest should be able to write XML data to a tar file.

 - sysctlharvest should be able to read XML data from a tar file.
