MP Build... FYI

[Jim Gettys]

I've never done a smoke test before. (and that smoke test is for the
more recent builds, rather than trial3/MP).

Other than having some trouble around activity and library installation,
625 checked out fine.

Upgrading from 623->625 indicated just changes in the kernel, so random
other stuff did *not* get into the build.
