I do that but does everyone who builds randconfigs? I had to go and look
what variables Kbuild honors and prep an all.config and yadda yadda...

Yeah, that's what mail threads are for.

People tend to reply to a huuge mail with one sentence, bury it
somewhere on page gazillion and one and not trim the rest. Antisocial
behavior, that. :-P
