It does seem a touch odd to have three programs to configure
	a wscons display (wsconsctl,wsconscfg,wsfontload). In particular
	wsfontload does not really do very much, and we now have to have
	a fourth program (the wsconfig script) in order to implement a -C.

	Would it make more sense to merge wsfontload into wsconscfg?
