Symlink /boot/remove-orphaned-initrds into /usr/sbin to get it in the $PATH.

Renamed kernel-backup to make-kernel-backup.
We'll leave it in /boot where it's more likely to be noticed, but also
add a symlink in /usr/sbin so that it's in the $PATH.
Support /etc/default/make-kernel-backup.
Test to see if $KERNEL_FILE is actually a Linux kernel.

kde/kstars-3.6.7-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
It's time for KStars in Slackware to be less of a toy and more of a useful
tool. The required dependencies have been added for EKOS, the INDI client
included in KStars, which will allow for computer control of astronomy
devices. Additional deps and drivers may be required, but these are runtime
dependencies. See (for example) gpsd, libdc1394, libftdi1, libindi-libraries,
and libindi-drivers, all of which can be found on slackbuilds.org.
Huge thanks to Edward W. Koenig for the detailed writeup - it was extremely
helpful! :-) Here's a link to the article:
