Done.  I forget how I knew that you could do this....  Anyway, I have
just documented this in "the defsystem grammar."  It would probably be a
good idea to have an example of this in one of the defsystem examples,
if anyone can supply one.

Alternatively, if no one feels like supplying one, I'm not in good
internet reach right now; feel free to request such an example by
posting a launchpad ticket and I'll try to get one done.

Good night, all!
