Perhaps it's time to split out a GENERIC/INSTALL Kernel which would be much
like the one we have now, perhaps with more of the options which cause
incompatibilities but provide new features (as space allows). And make a
separate BASIC/INSTALL kernel to distribute with a set of options which
don't cause problems for older systems. (mcd and wd come to mind?)
