Over the past few weeks and months, I've seen far too many people 
using "make buildkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL" when they should have 
used "config MYKERNEL".

The following PR is a move to help solve that problem:

<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=24148>

Please read and comment and I'll submit amendments as appropriate.  
The PR was submitted on 8 Jan and I've not had any feedback yet.

All following to freebsd-doc@freebsd.org (cc'd to me) please.
