    Hmmmm... does 'config' do any sort of sanity checking on the
options?  I'm rebuilding a 2.0.5A kernel, but I accidentally typed
"NMBCLUSTER=1024" (without the trailing 'S'), ran config, ran make
depend, then make, then went to lunch.  After I realized my error, I
checked my make logs and didn't notice any errors pertaining to the
typo.  I'm rebuilding it just to be safe, but is it possible for
config to doublecheck things like that?

    BTW, it only takes about 15 minutes to rebuild my kernel config
after a "make depend".  It used to take 23 minutes with 950412.  Hope
I didn't forget anything...
