  By all means make it easier to build kernels for inexperienced
people. But, please do *not* hide it all under layers of undocumented
gloup like SVR4. Ever try removing the Novell client code option from
UnixWare? Hah! Even the concept of the "GENERIC" kernel is foreign
there. Loadable modules and resmgr try to make it feel that way, but
amazingly, the base kernel is 2Mb, and 3.5Mb if you statically link.
NetBSD-i386 is, like, 500k last time I looked. Mine is bloated at 1.1Mb.
  Just a reminder of what not to do.
