Dear All,

Based on discussions earlier this summer (resulting from the kernel config
pages on flossy.fitz) I've now nearly finished a more general utility for
sorting out configurations.  I've yet to write the user interface, but all
the "interesting" bits are nearly in place, so I've set-up a brief web
page, which will (in the next few days, hopefully) have the source and a
couple of binaries.

The scope of this mini-project extends to complete configuration of a
NetBSD system, including building a custom kernel.  Main features
currently include:

* Config for major /etc/*.conf files

* Simple ncurses interface (with ability to add any number of different
user interfaces at a later date)

* Will spawn kernel build directly, using an arbitrary (or default)
directory

* Will present capability to cross-build kernels (provided cross-tools
exist)

* Reads structure & available options from existing files => don't have
to keep updating the program when someone adds a new feature (in
theory...)

The web page is at http://www.flame.org/~dforbes/    Thanks to Michael
Graff for supplying the web space for this.  Currently, there's very
little there, but I'll fix that over the next few days.

Comments appreciated,

David Forbes.
