Once, long ago, a group of us had a disagreement that the config
sources should be part of the kernel tree (which I champion.)  Maybe
this should be revisited -- since the config program *does* have
to have intimate knowedge of and actually *does* produce kernel
code (like genassym.)  Mess-ups associated with bogus versions of
config have a possibility of being controlled then.
