1. CVSup so you have a complete /usr/src
2. Build a new world and kernel
3. Install the new world and kernel
4. Mergemaster
5. Use `mkdir' to create /usr/home/ and then make any user 
directories. Make sure the user's directories are owned by the users 
and not root.
6. Be more careful with rm :)

I'm sure if this will get you back /usr/include. If it doesnt that 
can also be sorted. If you didn't make a backup yourself there is 
almost no way you are going to get that data back.
