I dont think you will build correctly unless you use the advanced kernel
setting for the AVR32 and AT91.

Copying the build configuration to the root file system
is in line with the open source model, since
it helps people to reproduce whatever is on the board
if they buy the product.
If you want to debug something, then it is good to
know how it was configured.

If someone calls in with a board without this, then it is
too late to do anything about it.

Obviously, since I put it there, I want to have it ON
for all my customers.

As for the copyto, this is a convenience, and people
can configure whatever they want.
I find that it saves time to have this on.
