Subject:   kernel config needs a blank line at EOF

I just encountered a user who was getting an error when trying to compile
a new kernel.  This as during the config step.  The error was:

config: line 238: syntax error

Line 238 was:

device         pcm             # SB16 PCI

which was the last line in the file.  I then suggested then they add a
CRLF to the end of the file (so that the last line was an empy
line).  config then ran successfully.

Is this a known problem?  If so, I'll add a note to the handbook so
newbies don't get caught out like that.  It caused this person (and no
doubt others) much annoyance and trouble.
