*gasp*
shock horror
10k

I think we should all boycott this clearly ridiculous idea.  I could use
that extra 10k to do something fancy like

PS it really is such a good idea... it's saved my skin a few times
   when I've been miles away from my backup tapes, and managed to
   be a bit overenthusiastic with cleaning a source tree... you can
   do

	strings /kernel | grep ___ | sed 's/^___//'

   on (duck) FreeBSD to get similar stuff... if you've added
   
   	options INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE 

   to your original kernel config.
