Another really good way: if you rename the config file "CONFIG" and insert
a "source /sys" at the top, then you can just run config(8) with no
arguments in a directory that is anywhere:

	% cd anywhere
	% echo source /sys > CONFIG
	% cat /sys/arch/alpha/conf/GENERIC >> CONFIG
	% config
	% make depend; make -j5
