Pretty cool.

Um, can we have these options enabled automatically if COMPAT_LINUX is
enabled on an Alpha?

Personally, when I'm configuring a kernel I find myself wondering if I
need all the COMPAT_number options. Since I don't have binaries on my
Alpha from the 0.9 days it makes sense that I don't need COMPAT_09,
an so on. Why would I need to enable options for versions of BSD that
never existed on my platform?
