the problem is that if you modify the kernel config file,
it becomes trickier to handle the dependencies.

The interactive menu was designed when the image was not part
of the kernel. Now that it is (and is the only way i could
think to get rid of the 80+KB of the loader), you have
to rebuild a kernel, unless there is some smart tool
to add a section with the MD image to a ELF file and let the code in
the kernel peek into that section...
