Uhh...

I'd rather not touch anything of the sort.  Passing things to genkernel
from catalyst isn't as easy as you think it is and the best solution is
likely the one we already have in place.

Great.  =]

I do have to warn you that the Release Engineering staff does not
endorse *any* documentation placed on a public wiki of any kind.

I have been working on updating the official documentation, which is the
only thing that will be guaranteed to be even remotely correct.  The
last time I looked at the wiki, it told people to do really stupid
things, which is why I simply don't recommend using any documentation
not written by people intimately familiar with working with catalyst.
