This is standard behavior, demonstrating the difference between
`option' and `pseudo-device' declarations in the config file.  Config
has no way of knowing which declaration you didn't specify, and so it
generates the header as if the unspecified option were a
pseudo-device.

Since they don't hurt anything, I am inclined to leave them in as a
reminder to people looking at the source code what "foo.h" and NFOO
are for.
